On the RAID Information screen, 
press the Config button to go to the 

RAID Configuration screen. In 
addition to RAID disk information and 

status, this screen lets you make 
RAID configuration settings.  

 
For more information on RAID, see 

 
 

 
 

 

You can set the storage volume as either None, JBOD, RAID 0, or RAID 1. 

RAID configuration is usually required only when you first set up the device. A 
brief description of each RAID setting follows: 

 

Level Description 
None 

There is no existing storage volume. 

JBOD 

The storage volume is a single HDD with no RAID support. JBOD 

requires a minimum of 1 disk. 

RAID 0 

Provides data striping but no redundancy. Improves 

performance but not data safety. RAID 0 requires a minimum of 

2 disks. 

RAID 1 

Offers disk mirroring. Provides twice the read rate of single 

disks, but same write rate. RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2 
disks. 

If the administrator improperly removes a hard disk that should not be removed 

when RAID status is degraded, all data will be lost. 

Using Disk Settings, you can select stripe size, choose which disks are RAID 

disks. 
 

Item Description 
RAID 

Check the boxes of the hard drives you wish to add to the 
storage volume. 

Stripe Size 

This sets the stripe size to maximize performance of sequential 
files in a storage volume. Keep the 64K setting unless you 

require a special file storage layout in the storage volume. A 

larger stripe size is better for large files. 

Create RAID 

Press this button to configure a file system and create the RAID 

storage volume. 

Remove 

Click to remove the RAID volume. All user data, snapshot, and 

Target USB data will be removed.
