Warnings and Notices
•
Use only hard drives that are in perfect condition. Avoid using drives that have ever developed
bad sectors during previous usage. This could lead to possible device failure or loss of data.
•
The SilverSATA IV supports drives of various specifications and different capacities. However, if
you wish to use the drives in a software RAID configuration, we recommend using drives of the
same brand and type for optimal performance. If drives of different capacities are used, the
capacity of the smallest drive will determine how much of each drive is used. The additional
capacity on the larger drives will not be used by the RAID.
•
Creating a software RAID level 0 will allow you to use the full capacity of the drives, and offers the
best data transfer speeds. However, RAID 0 offers no protection for the data. If one drive fails in
a RAID 0, the data on all of the drives is irretrievably lost. Before creating a software RAID,
investigate the various RAID types and choose the one that is best for your needs.
•
If you create a software RAID 0, do not attempt to hot swap trays. Drives must be kept together in
a RAID 0, or data loss will result.
