COOLING
SYSTEM
Because

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.

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.
RAID 0 (Striping)
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,
so data can be accessed immediately. This setting offers the lowest total usable drive capacity.

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
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.
