3500MGB-Raid Setup |
| The
3500MGB-Raid comes with the option to setup your
drives and combine them as one single drive or
as two individual drives. To increase
performance and data throughput, the "RAID 0 -
Striping" setup will be ideal for your daily
backup and other data transfers. |
 |
Non-RAID
The drives will show up as two
independent drives. Use this if you have only
installed one drive or two different drives (not
the same capacity and brand). |
 |
RAID 0 -
Spanning *
The two drives show up as one large single
drive. Spanning is an array (not RAID) that is
written sequentially across the two drives. By
itself, it does not provide any performance or
redundancy benefits. |
 |
RAID 0 - Striping *
Used where speed is the primary objective, RAID
Level 0 (also called "striping") is not
redundant. This form of array splits each piece
of data across both of the drives in segments;
since data is written without any form of parity
data-checking, it allows for the fastest data
transfer of all other RAID levels. However, if
one drive becomes damaged, the whole array can
become corrupted. |

|
Remarks |
*
For RAID 0, identical hard drives are required
(same manufacturer, capacity and RPM)! |
