Disk Configuration
Big Drive
(Linear)
Big Drive is a collection of hard disk drives and does not provide
any RAID protection. The data are written to the disks
continuously.
Performance
(Raid0)
RAID0is one larger volume with 2 or more hard disk drives. The
data are written to the hard disk drives without any parity
information. The total storage capacity is the sum of all hard disk
drives.
Fault
Tolerant
(Raid1)
2 hard disk drives are required to create a RAID1 array. RAID1 can
provide disk mirroring by duplicating the data between two hard
disk drives.
Fault
Tole rant
(Raid5)
A minimum of 3 hard disk drives are required to create RAID5. The
data are striped in all hard drives in a RAID5 array and the parity
information is stored in each drive. If a hard disk drive fails, the
array enters degraded mode. The data can be rebuilt from other
member drives after installing a new drive to replace the failed
one.
Fault
Tole rant
(Raid10)
Data are written in stripes across primary disks that have been
mirrored to the secondary disks. A typical RAID 10 configuration
consists of four drives, two for striping and two for mirroring
RAID 10 is supported in DS-8200-RM Pro, DS-4200-RM Pro and DS-4200 Pro Series.
44
Select a type of disk configuration, and please click “Apply” to execute building new
RAID disk.
Note: Don’t turn off the server or unplug any hard drives when RAID Disk is in
building process.

45
The progress is in “Create swap” and is going to finish the disk building.
Finally, the RAID disk building is complete.
After the RAID disk is created, RAID List shows RAID Name and available storage
devices. Device Information provides status of the hard drive: RAID Name, Level,
Capacity, Status-Active, Action State, Background Activity and Progress-none.
3. Delete
After the RAID Disk is created, “Delete” option is available.
If user is going to delete RAID disk, please refer to following description.
In “Delete” option, user can remove or format RAID disk by selecting the RAID disk.
In the table, RAID Name, RAID type, Capacity and Status are shown.
46
