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. RAID 0 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.

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 Manage-
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
