5. 17 ReadyNAS for Home RAIDiator 5 3 Basic Disk Configuration Concepts To get the most out of your ReadyNAS storage system it is helpful to understand some disk configuration concepts Understanding these concepts Is the first step to making good decisions about how to configure manage and use your ReadyNAS storage system You can configure your storage system s hard disks in a variety of ways The most common way to configure disks is using one of the many RAID technologies RAID RAID is short for redundant array of independent disks RAID is a storage technology that balances data protection system performance and storage space by determining how the storage system distributes data Many different ways of distributing data have been standardized into various RAID levels Each RAID level offers a tradeoff of data protection system performance and storage space For example one RAID level might improve data protection but reduce storage space Another RAID level might increase storage space but also reduce system performance Your ReadyNAS storage system supports X RAID2 a proprietary single volume RAID architecture that is easy to administer and Flex RAID which allows you to format your disks in a variety of industry standard RAID levels Volumes In the most general sense volumes are data storage devices Your computer treats an internal hard drive as a volume It also treats a portable USB thumb drive as a volume V
