1. Only one interface connection may be used at once per computer system.
2. The data formation of RAID 5 / RAID 3 uses four disks with space equal to the smallest disk of the
four; RAID 0 / Large is built of five disks; RAID 10 is built of two disks and used for its large storage
space; therefore, before using this system, it is recommended that each disk be installed before use
and that each disk be new and of the same brand and specification. Also, when you need to switch in
a new disk, it is recommended that you buy a new disk that is of the same brand and specification,
and same size as the old disk. If that is not possible, please choose a disk that is at least 20GB larger
than the other disk.
3. The actual storage capacity of DR5-WBS3 recognized by the system may differ from the total
capacity stated on the hard drives once the drives have been formatted.
4. When connected to the computer system, it’s prohibited to remove, insert or swap the hard drive
while data transfer is being performed.
5. It’s prohibited to change the positioning of the drives once the initial installation has been completed
as the changes made to the drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
6. If you discover that hard drive failure is taking place, go to Section 6 “Replacement of Malfunctioning
Drive and Data Rebuild Instructions” and follow the steps accordingly.
7. Whenever turning off or unplugging the DR5-WBS3 from your computer system becomes necessary,
always remember to safely remove it from your operating system first.
8. RAID 5 / RAID 3 / RAID 10 / RAID 1 storage systems only allow one disk to malfunction at a time.
Therefore, when you find that two or more disks have malfunctioned, your data on those disks may
be damaged or lost; when you find that one or more disks have malfunctioned in RAID 0 / LARGE,
your data on those disks may be damaged or lost. It is recommended that you find a disk recovery
specialist in your area to attempt to recover your damaged or lost data.
9. It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the DR5-WBS3 unit on
a regular basis or whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device.
Stardom will not be responsible for any lost of data caused during the use of the unit or the recovery
of the data lost.
