Key Features and Benefits
Flexible storage capacity—The storage system supports up to four 3.5" SATA-I hard disks, with a
capacity of 80–500 GB each. You can start with just one and add more as your needs grow.
Built-in data protection—In addition to a linear disk configuration in which all the disks are treated as
independent entities, the storage system supports several different types of RAIDs (redundant arrays
of independent disks). This means that you can take advantage of the build-in data protection and data
duplication offered by advanced RAID levels. If your storage system has multiple hard disks and one
fails, you won’t lose important data. For more information, refer to "Disk Configurations," beginning on
page 125.
Simple administration—You can run the browser-based management interface from any computer in
