DRIVE
BAYS
The
unique
auto-‐limiting
segmented
screws
prevent
drive
damages
causedby
over-‐tightening
during
installation.
The
SmartGuider enables trayless drive positioning, and effort-‐
less hot-‐swapping.

COOLING
SYSTEM
Because
of
the
unique
upright
position
of
the
drives,
the
high
quality, silent running fan will blow air from the bottom to the
top, dramatically enhancing the internal airflow and cooling
efficiency of the unit. Together with vents and a rugged alu-‐
minum case, the HIVE acts as a supremely efficient channel
for heat dissipation.

RAID
MODES
HIVE

Classic
offers
multiple
RAID
options
to
suit
your
data
protection
requirements.
While
units
are
shipped
preconfigured
for RAID 5, users can easily select between the following options.
for RAID 5, users can easily select between the following options.
RAID
0
(Striping)
This setting allows for maximum performance as data is “striped” across the drives, utiliz-‐ ing the full speed of the individual hard
disks. However, this setting offers no redundancy, and thus little protection against data loss. This setting maximizes usable drive
capacity.
RAID 1 (Mirroring)
This setting makes a real-‐time copy of all data as it is written to a drive. If one of the drives fails, it has an exact duplicate in the array,

RAID 1 (Mirroring)
This setting makes a real-‐time copy of all data as it is written to a drive. If one of the drives fails, it has an exact duplicate in the array,
so
data
can
be
accessed
immediately.
This
setting
offers
the
lowest
total
usable
drive
capacity.
RAID 5
This setting requires at least three drives to operate. In this configuration, the data from each drive is backed up in specified portions
of the other drives in the array. Should one drive fail, its contents can be rebuilt from the remaining drives. This setting offers a
moderate level of usable drive capacity.
RAID 5 + 1
RAID 5
This setting requires at least three drives to operate. In this configuration, the data from each drive is backed up in specified portions
of the other drives in the array. Should one drive fail, its contents can be rebuilt from the remaining drives. This setting offers a
moderate level of usable drive capacity.
RAID 5 + 1
Similar
to
RAID
5,
this
setting
requires
four
drives.
The
fourth
drive
(D)
remains
unused,
should
one
of
the
other
three
(A,B,C)
fail.
In
this instance, missing data will be rebuilt from the two healthy drives (e.g. A&C) to the unused drive (D), restoring access to data
within a few hours. This setting offers a low level of usable drive capacity.
RAID 0 + 1
A combination of RAID 0 and 1, this configuration requires four drives. In this setting, two drives (A&B) function together as a RAID 0
array, with the other two (C&D) functioning as a RAID 1 mirror of the first pair.
