Chapter 1 Getting Started

About MELCO

Melco was established by Makoto Maki in 1975 in Japan. Maki, an enthusiastic audiophile, established the company
to design and manufacture the finest audio components of the time - the undoubted masterpiece of the Melco line
being the turntable, introduced into the UK in 1980, which set new standards in music reproduction.

From those early beginnings Melco developed into the largest computer peripherals manufacturer in Japan,
offering advanced products based on rigorous R&D, including wireless routers, Ethernet data switches and storage
devices such as NAS drives.

Now the company is proud to revive the highly-respected Melco brand, offering discerning audiophiles high
technology networked audio components in the spirit of those much revered early Melco products, while
incorporating the very latest research into reliable high performance networked devices and storage.

'MELCO' stands for Maki Engineering Laboratory Company.

Notes:

• Spanned

Combines 2 drives in the HA-N1 into a single array. The usable disk space is the total space of all drives used.
Data is written to the first drive, then the second drive once the first drive becomes full. If a single drive in the
array fails, then all data in the array is lost.

• RAID 0

Combines 2 drives in the HA-N1 into a single array. The usable disk space is the total space of all drives used.
This simple RAID mode offers faster performance than a spanned array. If a single drive in the array fails, then
all data in the array lost. RAID 0 offers the least redundancy among the three RAID modes. In terms of saving
your data safely, using RAID 0 is not recommended.

• RAID 1

Combines 2 drives in the HA-N1 into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a
single drive. Identical data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing
the damaged drive. As long as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be
recovered.

7 The message "All data will be lost. Continue?" will be displayed. Make sure that all files on the drive can be

erased before proceeding. To continue changing the RAID mode, press and select "OK", then press the

button.

6 Press and select "Format", then press the button.

7 The message "All (backup/expansion drive) data will be lost. Continue?" will be displayed. Make sure that all

files on the drive can be erased before proceeding. To continue formatting, press and select "OK", then

press the button.

Erase Data on the HA-N1 Completely

Under some circumstances, data from formatted drives can be recovered. This disk erasure process in this section
does a much more thorough job of erasing data. This procedure is recommended for removing all data from a drive
