Volume Name

Type a volume name from 1 to 31 characters. The name cannot be the same as 
another existing external volume. 
Acceptable characters are all alphanumeric characters and " " [spaces], "_" 
[underscores], and "." [periods].
The first character must be alphanumeric (A-Z 0-9).
The last character cannot be a space " ".
For an external volume, type a volume name from 1 to 32 single-byte (no Chinese 
characters allowed for example) ASCII characters. The name cannot be the same 
as another existing external volume. 

JBOD

Use JBOD if you want maximum storage capacity and/or you have other means of 
protecting your data. JBOD is the only option if you only have one disk installed. 
With two disks, you can choose to create a JBOD volume on one of the disks or 
both.

RAID 0

Use RAID 0 if you want maximum speed for your disks, and/or you have other 
means of protecting your data. This is only available when you have two hard disks 
installed.

RAID 1

Use RAID 1 if you want to mirror all data on one disk to the other disk. This is only 
available when you have two hard disks installed.

Volume will be 
created on

This field lists all hard disks installed inside the NSA. Select which disks should 
make up this volume. A disk can only belong to one volume. You do not need to 
select anything if only one hard disk is installed.
