RNAS-1200 Series Managing Drives and Storage
7-6
ATTENTION
If you want to replac
e 1 HDD from the RNAS when RAID 1 is configured, the
RNAS will continue to work only
when a new HDD is inserted.
Enabling Disk Encryption
Data encryption at the drive level may only be enabled when configuring your drive architecture.
In addition, for a slight reduction in system access speeds you may enable disk encryption. This utility will use
the 128 bit AES cipher and a unique, randomly generated key to transparently encrypt all data stored on your
drive. Encrypting the drive in this way will mean that only the local RNAS-1200 system will be able to read the
data from the drive.
When finished, click Apply to reformat your drives using your preferred RAID architecture. When building a
drive array (or JBOD), the drives will be automatically reformatted with an ext4 file system. There will be no
need to reformat the drives.
IMPORTANT!
Changing the drive architecture will
erase all data. Be sure to backup any important information before
restructuring your drives.
