See More NAS 271 - ASUSTOR NAS MIB Guide Storage Manager Volume Note: This function may differ depending on the NAS model in use.
Advanced Setup: Based on the current number of disks, you can manually select a RAID level or set up a spare disk. Reminder: In order to optimize disk space utilization, it is recommended that you use disks of the same size when creating storage space. About RAID In order to provide optimal storage space utilization and data protection, ADM supports multiple RAID levels allowing you to select the appropriate level for your needs.
RAID 6: Combines four of more disks to create a storage space that is able to support two failed disks. Should two of your disks fail, your data will still be protected from loss. In the event of disk failure, simply replace the failed disks with new ones. The new disks will automatically be accommodated into the RAID 6 configuration. The advantage of using RAID 6 is that it is able to provide superior data protection through data redundancy.
S.M.A.R.T. Info: S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Report Technology. It is a type of self-monitoring mechanism for disks that detects and reports on various indicators of reliability, with the hope of anticipating failures. Disk Doctor: Here you can check your disks for bad sectors or conduct S.M.A.R.T. tests.
iSCSI iSCSI is a type of network storage technology that offers high expandability and low implementation costs. Through existing network infrastructure and iSCSI you can use your NAS to expand existing storage space or have it act as a backup destination. iSCSI consists of two ends, a target and an initiator. The initiator is used to search for iSCSI hosts and to set up targets. IQN: IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) is the unique name for each iSCSI target.
CHAP Authentication: CHAP authentication can be used to verify a user’s identity. If you choose to use CHAP authentication, a CHAP password must first be entered from the initiator for verification before it can connect to the target. Mutual CHAP Authentication: Mutual CHAP authentication requires both the target and the initiator to have usernames and passwords. When establishing a connection, the target and the initiator will have to authenticate each other using their respective credentials.
MyArchive is a function designed especially for data management and sharing, giving you added flexibility when using multiple hard disks for data backup or exchange. When MyArchive hard disks have been inserted into the MyArchive disk bay, you will immediately be able to access the data on the hard disk.

See More NAS 255 – Using MyArchive Video - MyArchive Accessories: Hard Disk Tray Access Control Local Users Here you can manage (add, edit or remove) the local users in the system and assign their access rights to shared folders.
Reminder: If you only have a few users on the system, you can set up the access rights for each of them one by one. Within ADM, a single user’s access rights with regards to shared folders will depend on the user’s existing access rights and on the access rights of the group that the user belongs to. Both sets of access rights will be checked against each other in order to determine priority (please see Appendix 7.1).
Reminder: If you have a relatively large number of users on the system, you can conveniently assign access rights by user group instead of assigning access rights for each user one by one. Within ADM, a single user’s access rights with regards to shared folders will depend on the user’s existing access rights and on the access rights of the group that the user belongs to. Both sets of access rights will be checked against each other in order to determine priority (please see Appendix 7.1).
Reminder: ASUSTOR NAS can support more than 200,000 AD users and groups. When joining an AD domain for the first time, depending on the number of users and groups, it may take a while for all of them to become visible.
