3.1 Data Rebuilding
R4 offers RAID 5 function to protect your data security and with a hard disk failure tolerance. When a
hard disk fails, simply replace a new hard disk and R4 will automatically rebuild data to the newly
replaced hard disk to recover the origin stored data.
NOTE : 1. Source drive and Target drive will not apply under normal operation, only when a newly replaced drive
from a failed drive will be treated as Target and the remained drives as Source.
2. Although R4 is accessible during data rebuilding, however, it is strongly suggested to access after the
rebuild is finished to avoid the delays in rebuilding time.
3. If accidentally power off R4 during the progress of data rebuild, simply power it back on and it will
automatically continue the rebuild process, however, to avoid data corruptions or data loss please not
to frequently switch the power repeatedly during the progress of data rebuild.
