8-bay raid station 19
11.2 LARGE mode
Function:
The LARGE mode concatenates a series of physical hard drives into a single large
volume, creating a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the physical limitations
of singularly connected hard drives.
Notes:
The hard drives 1 to 8 are concatenated into a single virtual volume in the Figure above
with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of each of the physical hard drives 1 to 8.
It is also possible to create a LARGE volume using only a single hard disk drive connected
to Port 1. However, it is not possible to expand an existing LARGE volume by adding
another hard disk drive and still preserve any existing data on that volume.
