RAID Level
You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5. RAID
configuration is usually required only when you first set up the device. A brief
description of each RAID setting follows:
RAID Levels
Level Description
JBOD The storage volume is a single HDD with no RAID support. JBOD
requires a minimum of 1 disk.
RAID 0 Provides data striping but no redundancy. Improves
performance but not data safety. RAID 0 requires a minimum of
2 disks.
RAID 1 Offers disk mirroring. Provides twice the read rate of single
disks, but same write rate. RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2
disks.
RAID 5 Data striping and stripe error correction information provided.
Excellent performance and good fault tolerance. RAID 5 requires
a minimum of 3 disks. RAID 5 can sustain one failed disk.
WARNING
If the administrator improperly removes a hard disk that should not be removed
when RAID status is Degraded, all data will be lost.

Model Model number of the installed hard disks.
RAID Check the boxes of the hard drives you wish to add to the

Spare If this is checked, current hard disk is designated as a spare for
a RAID volume.
Stripe Size This sets the stripe size to maximize performance of sequential
files in a storage volume. Keep the 64K setting unless you
require a special file storage layout in the storage volume. A
larger stripe size is better for large files.
Create RAID Press this button to configure a file system and create the RAID
storage volume.
Remove RAID Click to remove the RAID volume. All user data, iSCSI, and
Target USB data will be removed.
Cancel Press this button to exit without saving changes.

Chapter 7: Tips and Tricks
USB and eSATA Storage Expansion
The N3200PRO supports external USB hard disks through its three USB ports.
Once a USB hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be copied
automatically to the default USB HDD folder. The N3200PRO supports up to 6
USB external storage devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case
sensitive.
The N3200PRO also supports eSATA hard disks with its eSATA port.
Before attaching an eSATA or USB disk drive to N3200PRO, you have to partition
and format it on a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached device will
be located at \\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1 where 192.168.1.100 means the
IP address of N3200PRO and sdf1 stands for the first partition on disk #6, the
eSATA or USB disk drive. If it is an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or copy
files from \\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1 but cannot add new files or modify
existing files.
If you want to write to an USB storage device, the file system must be FAT32.
NOTE

Adding a Spare Disk
With a RAID 1 array, you can add a spare disk after the initial RAID is setup. To
add a spare disk, follow the steps below:
1. On the RAID Configuration Screen, tick the checkbox of the hard disk
you wish to designate as a spare disk.
2. Click Add Spare.
Once the disk is set as a spare disk, it will automatically rebuild the previous
RAID set when one of the disks becomes degraded.
Remote Administration
You can set up your N3200PRO for remote administration. With remote
administration, you can access your N3200PRO over the Internet, even if your
N3200PRO is behind a router. This is especially useful if you are traveling and
suddenly need a file from your N3200PRO.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the
following equipment:

1. Power on the N3200PRO and immediately press the Reset button for 5
seconds. (The reset button is near the LAN connector)
2. This resets the N3200PRO to its default IP address and password settings.

Can't Map a Network Drive in Windows XP
You may have problems mapping a network drive under the following conditions:
1. The network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and
password. To connect using a different user name and password, first
disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.
2. The mapped network drive could not be created because the following
error has occurred: Multiple connections to a server or shared
resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are
not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared
resource and try again.
To check out existing network connections, type net use under the DOS prompt.
Restoring Factory Defaults
From the System menu, choose the Factory Default item and the Reset to
Factory Default screen appears. Press Apply to reset the N3200PRO to factory

RAID 0 uses disk striping and breaking up data into blocks to write across all hard

created determines the size of each block. No parity calculations complicate the
