Introduction to RAID Level
Introduction to RAID Level
The KISS-Stor 1 can support the RAID levels 1.
RAID 1
RAID 1 is commonly referred to as Disk Mirroring, Disk Shadowing or Disk
Duplexing as all data is duplicated across both disks. RAID 1 can only be
performed with two hard drives. As data is identical on both disks, storage
capacity is that of the smaller disk. RAID 1 has poor performance for write
operations but very high performance for read intensive operations.
The storage capacity is determined by the smaller drive in the array. That
capacity is then applied to format all other drives in the array. If using a 40 GB
and 60 GB drive in a RAID 1 array, your system will see one drive of 40 GB
[(1 disks x 40 GB) = 40 GB].
Fig. 1: Example for RAID 1 array with two hard disks

Introduction to RAID Level
RAID 1: Mirrored disk array
Characteristics: Recommended use:
q Better Read transaction rate then single disks,
same Write transaction rate as single disks.
q 100% redundancy of data means no rebuild of
data is necessary in case of disk failure, just a
copy to the replacement disk.
q All the disks have the same data.
q Raid level 1 requires two drives.

Product Description
Product Description
The KISS-Stor 1 RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks)
subsystem mirrors data to the other disk drive simultaneously, and delivers
optimized performance. If one drive fails, data is secured by the other drive and
alarm sounds to alert you. RAID 1 configuration is ideal for data redundancy.
Featuring intelligent recovery, KISS-Stor 1 let you hot swap a failed drive and it
automatically rebuilds the data to the new drive without any system down time.
KISS-Stor 1 features a user-friendly design that lets you easily that lets you easily
install two drives and replace a drive that fails. Each hard drive carrier supports a
one-inch high 3.5 inch for factor disk drive. Additional data security is provided by
a key-locking system, that prevents unauthorized access to each disk drive during
operation.
Fig. : KISS-Stor 1
The KISS-Stor 1 comes with two drive carriers accessed from the front. The front
of the two drive carriers are equipped with disk activity LED indicators (green,
yellow and red) and a drive carrier lock.
Each side of the RAID subsystem features a rail channel and holes for the
mounting screws. These allow you to secure the RAID 1 subsystem inside of a
computer case.
The jumpers (no jumper setting is needed) and connectors are located on the
rear side of the unit.

Removing / Replacing a Drive
Removing / Replacing a Drive
Swapping Drives
The hot swap function is available on the RAID 1 array and can be operated
during run time. RAID 1 rebuilding will be processed automatically in the
background and the KISS-Stor 1 RAID subsystem will record its progress. If the
system is shut down or powered off abnormally, the KISS-Stor 1 RAID subsystem
will continue the disk rebuilding process after power is turned on again.
A hard disk should not be replaced when the system is turned off.
Doing so may leads to loss of data.
What if a Disk fails?
If a disk drive fails, or a key switch is turned off, the red Disk Activity LED
Indicator of corresponding disk carrier and the corresponding Disk Status /
Rebuild Indicator will light up (red) and the an alarm will sound (sound when only
disk fails). When this happens, you can replace the failed SATA disk with a new
one, then turn the key switch on.
When replacing a disk drive, the new disk drive must have the
same capacity or larger, than the disk drive which is being
replaced.
What when a RAID fails?
A RAID failure occures if two disk drives fails in a RAID 1 array.
If two disk drives fails in a RAID 1 array, all data on the array is lost and cannot be
recovered. RAID failure results in all data on the array being lost. Please create a
new RAID, or call your technical support.

Starting Up
The KISS-Stor 1 is delivered with installed firmware and installed RAID level 1.
The KISS-Stor 1 is designed to be installed into a computer system.
The mirroring starts automatically once the computer with installed KISS-Stor 1, is
powered-up. The system will detect the presence of
KISS-Stor 1 RAID subsystem. The first step performed by the KISS-Stor 1 is to
check the status of the installed SATA hard drives.
When you lock the drives, the first drive to get locked is
designated as the source drive and the other drive becomes the
target drive.
Please observe the next subsections.
Prerequisite
The KISS-Stor 1 Raid subsystem must be installed in a workable computer as
described in the “Installing the KISS-Stor 1“ chapter.
