How to Set Up Non-RAID, Spanning, and
Striping
- Non-RAID: for one or two disks
- RAID 0 (Striping): for two disks with same capacity.
- Disk Spanning: for two disks with different capacity.
To set different RAID modes, see the
illustration shown below.
To install one or two SATA HDDs, see 1.1 to 1.4.
Note: Striping & Spanning need to install 2 HDDs.

How to Set Up Mirroring (RAID 1)
Pre-Requisites for Disk-Mirroring
- Although It is preferable that drives share the same manufacturer
and model type, it is not mandatory.
- "Target Drive" must be equal or bigger capacity than the "Source
Drive".
To set the mirroring mode, see the
illustration shown below.
6-2-2
To partition and format a disk, connect the Mirror
Drive to the host through USB or FireWire 1394
port and perform one of the following
Windows XP
right-click "My Computer"
click "Manage"
click "Disk Management"
the disk appears in the lower right-hand corner.
See the Windows help for further guidance.
Mac OS X
when you connect the disk, the operating system
should prompt you to initialize the disk; otherwise,
run "Disk Utility".

RAID 1 initialization
The system will write RIB into both HDD.
Note: RIB =RAID Information Block.
To install two HDDs, see 1.1 to 1.4.
After installing the two HDDs, power up the
Mirror Drive. The two HDDs will be initialized
as a RAID 1 pair. The host connection can be
enabled through either USB or FireWire
(IEEE 1394).
Note: Any data on the HDDs will be lost.

Note: We recommend that you use a journalled file system, such as
NTFS or journalled MacFS.

RAID 1 Backup
You may have system write RIB into one HDD
first, and then use "Auto-Rebuild Function"
to copy the content of the first HDD into the
other HDD. When the duplication is completed,
data in these two HDDs are synchronous.
Note: RIB =RAID Information Block.
Install HDD1 (the drive for the data and software).
See 1.1 to 1.4 for HDD installation instruction.
