Click OK.

Choose the array to configure.

Select a RAID mode and the drives to be used, then click Create RAID Array.

Note: Normally, after a RAID array is created, it is “resynced”, which optimizes the array, making it more stable. The 
resyncing process takes about 1 hour per terabyte of space in the array. File transfers will be slower during this 
period, but the array will remain fully usable. “RAID ARRAY x Resyncing” will be shown on the LCD display during the 
resync. If you uncheck “Resync after creating the RAID array”, the resync will be skipped. This is not recommended 
for RAID 5 arrays, which should always be resynced. Resyncing is not needed for RAID 0 arrays. If the TeraStation is 
rebooted during the resyncing process, the resync will begin again from the beginning.

Step through the wizard to create the array.

Notes: 
•  You can also configure RAID settings from Easy Admin.
•  After changing the RAID mode, create a shared folder.

If you have a hot spare configured and an array fails, the TeraStation immediately switches over to the hot spare. To use a 
hot spare, you need an extra drive that’s not part of any array and a RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, RAID 51, or RAID 6 array.

Notes: 
•  All data on the hot spare drive is deleted when it is configured as a hot spare and again when it changes from a 

spare to a drive in the array.

•  A hot spare cannot be configured for TeraStation models with only two hard drives. Use RAID 1 instead.

In Settings, click Drives.

Choose RAID.
