When you execute RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6 configuration, the system will initialize
the hard drives, create the RAID device, format the RAID device, and mount it as a
volume on the NAS. The progress will be shown on the LCD panel. When it
reaches 100%, you can access the RAID volume, for example, create share folders
and upload files to the folders on the NAS. In the meantime, to make sure the
stripes and blocks in all the RAID component devices are ready, the NAS will
execute RAID synchronization and the progress will be shown on “Disk
Management” > “Volume Management” page. The synchronization rate is around
30–60 MB/s (vary by hard drive models, system resource usage, etc.).
Note: If a member drive of the RAID configuration was lost during the
synchronization, the RAID device will enter degraded mode. The volume data is
still accessible. If you add a new member drive to the device, it will start to rebuild.
You can check the status on the “Volume Management” page.
To encrypt the disk volume, select “Yes” when the LCD panel shows <Encrypt
Volume?>. The default encryption password is “admin”. To change the password,
please login the web-based administration interface as an administrator and change
the settings in “Device Configuration” > “Disk volume Encryption Management”.
