RAID 51

**

RAID 51 arrays are available for TeraStations with 6 or more hard drives. In this mode, two RAID 5 arrays are

combined into a RAID 1 array. The total usable space for 6 drives in a RAID 51 array is 2 x the capacity of the smallest

drive. For 8 drives, the total usable capacity is 3 x the capacity of the smallest drive.

RAID 50

**

1 arrays are combined into a RAID 0 array. The usable space is equal to the capacity of the smallest drive multiplied

by the number of hard drives divided by 2.

RAID 1

Combines 2 drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical

data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long

as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered.

RAID 0

Combines 2 or more hard drives into a single array. The usable disk space is the total space of all drives used. This

simple RAID mode offers faster performance than RAID modes that include parity. If a single drive in the array fails,

then all data in the array is lost.

Working with RAID Arrays

To change RAID settings, navigate to Drives - RAID in Settings.

Using JBOD

With JBOD, each hard drive in the TeraStation is addressed separately. To put drives from an array into JBOD, follow

the steps below.

1 In Settings, click Drives.
