RAID conguration is done in System/Storage.

To change RAID conguration, click on an

array name in the RAID Array under the RAID

Conguration section.

Several types of RAID arrays are available.

RAID 0 - All drives are combined into one large,

fast drive, giving the maximum capacity for

your TeraStation. This size is the one listed

on your TeraStation’s box and shows the total

capacity of the TeraStation with no data used

for redundancy. RAID Spanning is fast and

efcient, but with no redundancy, if one hard

drive fails, all data on the TeraStation is lost.

RAID 1 - Hard drives are arranged in mirrored

pairs. Each half of the pair reads and

RAID Conguration

writes exactly the same data. This costs you half the total capacity of the array, but provides

excellent redundancy. If a hard drive fails, the mirror continues to supply data, so you may work

on normally. You may replace the damaged or defective drive at any time, and normal RAID 1

mirroring will then be automatically restored. This is the default conguration for the TS-WXL/R1.
