Buffalo Technology TS-RXL User Manual

TeraStation User Manual

19

Uses 2 hard drives as one array. You can use up to 2 arrays on TS-XL, TS-XEL and TS-RXL Series. The space you can use 

is 1 hard drive’s space for each array. The same data is written to 2 drives at once.  If a drive is damaged, data can be 

recovered by replacing the damaged hard disk.  If both drives in an array are damaged, data cannot be restored.  You 

can create an array and designate another drive as a hot spare (which will boot automatically when one of the hard 

drive fails) in TS-XL and TS-RXL TeraStations. You can use 2 drives to create a RAID 1 array, use anther drive as a hot 

spare, and use another as a regular drive, all at once. 

This mode uses multiple hard drives as a single array. The disk space you can use is the total space of all hard drives 

used. This is the fastest of the TeraStation’s RAID modes.  If any hard disks are damaged, you cannot recover data.

This mode uses the hard drives inside the TeraStation as individual hard disks. It is sometimes referred to as JBOD.  The 

disk space you can use is the total space of all hard drives in the TeraStation.  If a hard disk is damaged, you cannot 

recover data from that drive.

Note:   
During a recovery, the TeraStation’s front LED display shows “RAID ARRAY* Resyncing” and file transfer speeds are 

slower than usual until the RAID array is rebuilt.
