3.4 raid0 (faSt)
RAID0 (Fast) Configuration – 010
RAID0 (FAST) storage mode distributes data across both hard disks in a striped array. While in
RAID0 (FAST), data is transferred to both disks simultaneously, in parallel, improving data transfer
speed but offering no data redundancy. Kanguru QSX creates a single virtual volume that is striped
across both hard drives, with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of both hard disk drives.
Warning! If one hard drive fails, all data stored on both hard drives will be corrupted. RAID0 doubles
your potential for data loss, since if either one of the two disks fails then all your data will be corrupted.
Do not attempt to replace the faulty drive. Doing so will void the warranty. If one of your hard drives
fails, please contact Kanguru Solutions Tech Support at 508-966-4245.
Before using the Kanguru QSX in RAID0, you first have to format your hard drives. For more
information, please see section 2.4 Formatting Large Volumes, p.9.
