The following options are available:
Single Disk—Uses the disk drives as single disk volumes. When a drive 
failure occurs, all data is lost.
JBOD (Linear)—JBOD lets you combine multiple disks of mixed capacities 
into a single logical storage device. The capacity of the JBOD array is the 
sum of the total capacities of the individual component disks (that is, it does 
not have the limitation of RAID 1 where you lose some capacity when using 
mixed sized disks). JBOD offers no performance increase compared to the 
component disks. It has lower reliability than the component disks, as the 
failure of a single disk results in the failure of the whole array.
RAID 0—Distributes data across several disks in a way which that improves 
speed and full capacity. All data on all disks will be lost if any single disk fails.
RAID 1—Uses two disks (mirrored disks) which each store the same data, so 
that data is not lost as long as one disk survives. Total capacity of the array 
equals the capacity of the smaller disk.
RAID 5—Combines three or more disks in a way that protects data against 
loss of any single disk. 
RAID 6—Combines four or more disks in a way that protects data against 
loss of any two disks.

After choosing the disk configuration, press Enter. The LCD display shows the 
configuration that you selected. For example:
Yes is the default disk configuration.
When you select RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration, the system initializes the 
disks, creates the RAID device, formats the RAID device, and mounts it as a volume 
on the NAS.  The progress is shown on the LCD display.  When the progress 
reaches 100 percent, you can access the RAID volume, create share folders, and 
upload files to the folders on the NAS.  In the interim, to ensure that the stripes and 
blocks in all the RAID component devices are ready, the NAS will execute RAID 
synchronization. The synchronization progress can be monitored from the Disk 
Management > Volume Management
 window. The synchronization rate is 
approximately 30-60 MB/s. This number can vary by disk models, system 
resource usage, and other factors.
