When sharing files on a network, you must choose filenames that are compatible with all
devices that will use the file. The StorCenter device shares files using the SMB (Server
Message Block) protocol and stores its files on a EXT2 hard drive. You will need to use
characters supported by these filesystems to successfully share your files. Any filename
supported by a Windows PC should work with most platforms.
Invalid filenames:
Any filename containing the characters: " / \ < > ? : * |
Any filename that contains extended characters such as Á, À, Ã, Ä, etc. (characters
typed with the the Ctrl key on the Mac).
Any filename that ends with a space or period.
Any filename that begins with a period.
operating system of your client computer (where X represents a number).
Although filenames may be up to 256 characters long, the file path is limited to 260
characters in some operating systems. For best results, use short filenames.

Administrators can grant individual users access rights to Shared Folders on the Iomega
StorCenter device. Groups provides administrators with the added ability to create one or
more groups and grant each group rights to Shared Folders on the Iomega StorCenter
device. Groups can contain one or more groups and one or more users and users can
belong to more than one group. When groups are defined, a user's access rights are the
most rights granted to the user and all groups to which the user belongs.
Access the Groups page by navigating to the Settings tab and clicking Groups

GroupsGroups
By default, there are no groups defined. Once an administrator defines one or more
groups, the Groups functionality is dynamically available when creating, modifying, and

What is JBOD?
What is RAID 1?
The StorCenter device comes preconfigured with a RAID 1 array. To enhance your
experience with your StorCenter device, it is very important to become familiar with the
basics of array handling.
What is an Array?
What is an Array?
What is an Array?What is an Array?
Arrays are devices that combine multiple physical disks into a single logical volume. RAID,
or Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or Independent) Disks, is a method of combining
multiple disks for data redundancy in case of a disk failure. This section describes each of
the different types of arrays supported by your StorCenter device.

CAUTION!
JBOD, also known as spanning, combines multiple hard drives into a single large volume.

Data Data
Data is not written in parallel to multiple disks. Data is written to a single disk until it is
full and then written to the next disk in the set. Spanning does not provide any data
redundancy. Spanning requires two or more hard drives.

What is RAID 1?
What is RAID 1?
What is RAID 1?What is RAID 1?
RAID 1 mirrors or duplicates the contents of one drive on another equally-sized drive.
Mirroring provides optimal data integrity and immediate access to your data if one drive
fails. The StorCenter device only supports two-drive RAID 1 configurations. The RAID
capacity is half the physical capacity of the two drives.
