14. Expansion X RAID2 supports both vertical and horizontal expansion Horizontal expansion is the process of adding more disks to a ReadyNAS Vertical expansion increases the volume capacity when higher capacity disks are installed in the ReadyNAS You can take advantage of higher capacity or more affordable disks to grow the size of a ReadyNAS volume by replacing a disk with a larger one adding more disks or both as they become available After the initialization process the ReadyNAS synchronizes the new disk or disks and assures data redundancy This process can take 30 minutes to several hours and occurs in the background so you can continue using the ReadyNAS Also the synchronization process can also traverse system shutdowns If you need to shut the system down while it is performing a synchronization you can do so freely when you restart the ReadyNAS it resumes the synchronization Once completed and there are a minimum of two disks with more capacity in the system reboot the ReadyNAS to start the volume expansion which occurs in the background When the process completes the data stored on the volume remains intact but the volume capacity will have expanded to include the capacity of the new disk less any additional overhead needed to assure the redundancy of the data on the volume You can expand the ReadyNAS volume repeatedly with additional disks and higher capacity disks adding to the value of your investment in a Read

37. ID 0 RAID 1 and so on RAID is designed to meet one of two key goals increased data reliability or increased I O performance When multiple physical disks are set to use RAID technology they are said to be in a RAID array This array distributes data across multiple disks but the array is seen by the operating system and computer user as one single disk RAID Basics RAID redundancy is achieved by either writing the same data to multiple drives known as mirroring or writing extra data known as parity data across the array calculated such that the failure of one or more depending on the type of RAID disks in the array will not result in loss of data A failed disk can be replaced by a new one and the lost data can be reconstructed from the remaining data and the parity data Organizing disks into a redundant array decreases the usable storage capacity For instance e a2 disk RAID 1 array loses half of the total capacity that would have otherwise been available using both disks independently e aRAID 5 array with several disks loses the capacity of one disk Other types of RAID arrays are arranged so they are faster to write to and read from than a single disk RAID Levels There are various RAID combinations that give various levels of protection against data loss capacity and speed RAID levels 0 1 and 5 are the most commonly found and cover most requirements e RAID 0 striped disks distributes data across several di
