Combine - BIG
In BIG, both drives appear together as a single large disk the size of both drives
combined. This configuration enables you to create a larger volume than would be
available using a single drive without the performance increase offered with RAID 0.
R1 (RAID1) – Mirroring
In RAID1 both drives appear as a single disk and data is written identically to both. This
level protects your data from individual drive failure as a backup of all data is written
instantly.
R0 (RAID0) – Spanning
In RAID0 both drives appear together as a larger single disk the size of both drives
combined. This level can improve your performance as read and write operations are
performed in parallel on separate disks.
How to Use
Accessing your Array
Once the enclosure has been attached to a computer, and powered on, your computer
system will automatically recognize the drive(s) and it will be accessible as though it
were installed in the system internally.
Note: If your computer fails to automatically recognize your drive it is likely your
drive has not been initialized or formatted correctly. (See Drive Initialization below for
further instructions.)
LED Indicators
The hard drive enclosure offers LED indicators so you can monitor drive and RAID
array activity. Do not remove the enclosure from the host computer while the LEDs are
flashing, as it could damage the drive or the enclosure, resulting in data loss. Please see
the table below for detailed LED indication.
