Disk modules
There are slots for disk modules in the K2 Solo 3G system. The slots are located behind the front
bezel assembly in the front of the chassis. Each slot can contain one disk module, and each module
contains one hard drive. A K2 Solo 3G system contains 2 disk modules. Disk modules plug into the
drive cable assembly.
Data is written or “striped” across the disks in a continuous fashion, which makes the disks a “stripe
group”. This stripe group appears as the V: drive to the Windows operating system. The V: drive
stores media. It also stores media file system, database, and configuration information.
Disks are configured as RAID 0, so you can not remove and replace a disk module while the K2
Solo Media Server is operational. If a disk fails, you lose all media.
