Introduction

The Verbatim PowerBay NAS array provides four disk cartridges
confi gurable in various RAID levels for superior performance and data
redundancy. The PowerBay NAS array enables you to share documents,
fi les, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone
on the home or offi ce network. Remotely accessing fi les through the
Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether you are
allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by giving
access rights only to specifi c users or groups.

When con
and groups and assign them to folders with either read or read/write
permissions. This is ideal for an offi ce environment with employee­specifi c sensitive data or for the home network. The PowerBay NAS
array will be available to any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux-based)
on your network, without the need to install any software on the
computer.

Advanced Setup - Section

he PowerBay NAS array keeps track of data stored by its network
users by managing the data’s destination folder (also referred to herein
as a “shared folder” or simply a “share”). Furthermore, the PowerBay
NAS array must keep track of who may read from, and write to, each

older. It does this by setting up user accounts and groups. A group is a
collection of specifi c user accounts. When you assign access privileges
to a new share you have the option of either making assignments for
individual user accounts, or for an entire group of users at once by
referring to the group’s name

he default factory settings provide for no default user accounts or
default groups. Though there is one default folder (named Volume_1),
this folder has no default access privileges and so will not be accessible
at fi rst. The simplest way to make the Volume_1 folder accessible is to
use the web confi guration tool (Advanced Setup / Shared Folders) to
defi ne the Volume_1 folder privileges as “Allow everybody read and

in a way which can improve throughput, while retaining full capacity.
However, RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance so in case of possible
failure of any disk, all data will be lost. Available capacity is the
combined capacity of all four disk cartridges.

RAID 1 with S

are: RAID 1 (also called Mirroring) stores a duplicate set

of data onto at least one other disk so that if one disk fails, all data can
be recovered from the other disk. The PowerBay NAS array implements
RAID 1 in a way that provides for even more redundancy, resulting in
maximum fault tolerance. It does this by (a) using two drives as mirrors
instead of just one, and (b) using the fourth drive as a spare. The spare
drive will automatically rebuild as a fresh mirror whenever a failure of
one of the other three drives is detected. Available capacity is equal to
that of only one disk cartridge.

5: RAID 5 (Striping with distributed parity) combines three or
more disks in a way that protects data against loss of any one disk. The
storage capacity of the array is reduced by one disk. The PowerBay
NAS array implements RAID 5 in one of two ways

1. Select “RAID 5” to build a 4-disk array. Available capacity will be
equal to that of three disk cartridges

2. Select “RAID 5 with Spare” to build a 3-disk array. The fourth disk
is used as a spare. The spare drive will automatica

rebuild to
complete a healthy 3-disk array whenever a failure of one of the
other three drives is detected. Available capacity is equal to that
of two disk cartridges.

6: RAID 6 (Striping with distributed dual parity) combines all four
disks in a way that protects data against loss of any two disks. In the
event of a single disk failure, the use of dual parity allows for time to
rebuild the array safely without the data being at risk if an additional
drive fails before the rebuild is complete. Available capacity is equal to
that of two disk cartridges

Array Mirroring to eSATA Driv

he full data of the PowerBay NAS array can be continuously copied
to an attached eSATA drive. If a catastrophic failure of the NAS array
occurs, the full data can be restored from the eSATA drive once the
NAS array has been repaired or replaced. Array mirroring to eSATA
is supported only in RAID modes 0, 5, and 6 and is NOT supported in
RAID 1 with Spare or in RAID 5 with Spare. The capacity of the eSATA
drive must be at least as large as the capacity of the NAS array.

NAS, hit the “Restore” button. The external eSATA drive capacity must
be at least as large as the currently confi gured NAS RAID array.

Step 3: Decide whether you want to attach an external eSATA drive
for dedicated use in saving a full duplicate of the data stored on your
PowerBay NAS array. If you choose to use this eSATA Disk Mirror
feature, check the Mirror option button located below the eSATA Disk

users the ability to share a printer on their local network. Connect a
USB printer to the USB port on the back of the PowerBay NAS array.

Hot-Swap Functio

The PowerBay NAS array supports hot-swap drive trays. You can
eject or insert hard drive cartridges when the PowerBay NAS array is
operating.

However, if the hard drives are created into various levels of RAID,
cannot hot swap all the hard drives at the same time. Hot swapping
all the hard drives will cause a loss of data, and the RAID volume will
need to be re-created again. Different levels of RAID required various
numbers of hard drives remaining in the PowerBay NAS array.

ou

RAID, short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is storage
confi guration that combines two or more disks for the purpose of
providing fault tolerance and/or improving performance. There are
several different confi gurations or levels of RAID, with each providing a
different method of sharing or distributing data among the drives

AID

RAID 0 provides data striping, which spreads out blocks of data over
all drives, but does not provide data redundancy.

Althou
that if one drive fails, all data in the array will be lost

ormance is improved, the lack of fault tolerance means

AID 1

RAID 1 provides mirroring over multiple disks, with the same read/

rite speed of a single disk. A RAID 1 array can only be as large as its

smallest member disk.

Because the data is stored on multiple disks, RAID 1 provides fault
to

erance and protection.

RAID 0: If any single hard drive is hot-swapped, the data will be

ost and the array will be destroye

1: You can hot swap the hard drives as long as one of the

drives in the 3-drive mirror array is still in the PowerBay
NAS array. Removal of all hard drives will result in a loss
of all data and volume will have crashed. You may always
remove the spare drive provided that it has not yet been

tivated.

In a RAID 5 volume, it is only possible to hot swap 1 hard

rive at a time without losing all data. This is because a
RAID 5 volume can only tolerate the loss of 1 hard drive
and still continue to work. After hot swapping a hard
drive, the volume must fi rst be rebuilt before another
hard drive can be hot swapped, otherwise this will also
