iSCSI Capacity 

Indicates the capacity allocated to iSCSI. 

RAID Config 

Press this to configure RAID volumes. 

Space Allocation 

Press this to adjust the space allocated for data and iSCSI. 

On the RAID List screen, press the RAID 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.

You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 or 

RAID 10. RAID configuration is usually required only when you first set up the 
device. A brief description of each RAID setting follows: 
 

Level Description 
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. 

RAID 5 

Data striping and stripe error correction information provided. 

RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks. RAID 5 can sustain one 

failed disk. 

RAID 6 

Two independent parity computations must be used in order to 

provide protection against double disk failure. Two different 
algorithms are employed to achieve this purpose. RAID 6 

requires a minimum of 4 disks. RAID 6 can sustain two failed 

disks. 

RAID 10 

RAID 10 has high reliability and high performance. RAID 10 is 

implemented as a striped array whose segments are RAID 1 

arrays. It has the fault tolerance of RAID 1 and the performance 
of RAID 0. RAID 10 requires 4 disks. RAID 10 can sustain two 

failed disks.

Using RAID Settings, you can select stripe size, choose which disks are RAID 
disks or the Spare Disk. . 

 

Item Description 
RAID 

Check the boxes of the hard drives you wish to add to the 

storage volume. 

Master RAID 

Check a box to designate this as the Master RAID volume. See 

the 

 below for more information. 

Disk No. 

Number assigned to the installed hard disks. 

If the adm
remov

inistrator improperly removes a hard disk that should not be 

ed when RAID status is Degraded, all data will be lost.
