RAID Types
RAID Types Dened
moDe DescrIptIon
Single A single hard drive is used. All data is lost in the event of a hard drive failure.
JBOD
RAID functionality is not available in JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) mode. Data is written
sequentially on the designated disks. Both hard drives are combined to form a single larger
disk.
Note:
If you are using two identical HDDs, it is recommended to use RAID 0.
RAID 0
Both hard drives are combined and the available capacity of each disk is added into a
single logical volume. Redundancy or parity is not available. RAID0 offers the best performance, however, there is no disk failure protection.
IMPORTANT:
If a single disk in RAID 0 fails, the data in both disks is inaccessible due to the RAID 0
cross-disk writing function.
RAID 1
Dual hard drives are required. RAID 1 is a secure mode, providing mirroring functionality.
The data is duplicated between both HDDs, and, in the event of a single disk failure, the
data is available in the healthy disk. RAID 1 is recommended for disk failure protection.
However, available disk space is reduced by 50% due to the mirroring function.
Only RAID 1 supports hot-swap functionality. All other modes require you to power down
the device before removal of hard drives.
IMPORTANT:
Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks. If there is saved data
on the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.
IMPORTANT:
Only RAID 1 supports hot-swap functionality. All other modes require you to power down
the device before removal of hard drives.
The Disk Manager function displays model, capacity and status of the available hard drives. You
can view the health status, remove, check, format, and unmount a disk drive.
Creating a RAID Mode
IMPORTANT:
Changing RAID types erases all data stored on your storage disks.If there is saved data on
the drive(s), backup your data before proceeding.
In a Single Disk Volume, a second drive is not supported. After creating a Single Disk Volume, you must power off the system before installing a second hard drive.
CAUTION:
Installing a second hard drive in a Single Disk Volume while the system is powered on is
not recommended.

You can replace a hot-swap drive (RAID 1 mode only) by using the hot-swap button found on the
front panel or through the Disk Manager menu on the OMNINAS interface.

Auto Mirroring
By using RAID 1, you can duplicate data between two hard drives. A minimum of two HDDs are
required for auto mirroring (RAID 1). The Auto Mirror function allows you to enable or disable the
Auto Mirror function available for RAID 1 mode.
A second hard drive must be installed to enable the auto mirroring function. See Disk Mange-
ment.
Note:
Auto mirroring is only available for RAID 1 mode. Depending on the formatted capacity of
RAID 1, the rebuilding of your second drive for mirroring may take several hours. Do not
turn off the power or interrupt the system during this process to prevent damage to the
system or your hard drives.
The auto mirroring setup will erase the hard drives data. Make sure you backup all data
before starting this process.
