Chapter 3: System Administration
Once the Create button has been pressed with the Encryption checkbox enabled, the following
message pop-up will appear for confirmation.
After the RAID volume has been created, you may remove the USB disk until the next time the
system boots. The RAID volume cannot be mounted if the USB disk with the encryption key isn’t
found in any system USB port when the volume is accessed. To activate the encrypted volume, plug
the USB disk containing the encryption key and into any system USB port.
We strongly recommended copying the RAID volume encryption key to a safe place. You can find
the encryption key file from the USB disk in the following format:
(RAID volume created date)_xxxxxx.key
Please keep your USB disk in a safe place and also backup the encrypted
key.
There is no way to rescue data back if the key is lost.
With RAID volume encryption enabled, the system performance will go
down.
RAID volumes with encryption enabled will be displayed with a key lock symbol next to volume ID
name.
Quick RAID — Enabled the quick RAID setting is going to enhance RAID creation time. 6.
We recommend using the “Quick RAID” setting only if the hard disks are
brand new or if no existing partitions are contained.
Specify a stripe size — 64K is the default setting.7.
