4. RAID 5 Disk 0 Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 2 RAID Configuration RAID Configuration Precautions 1 Please use two new drives if you are creating a RAID 0 striping array for performance It is recommended to use two SATA drives of the same size If you use two drives of different sizes the smaller capacity hard disk will be the base storage size for each drive For example if one hard disk has an 80GB storage capa city and the other hard disk has 60GB the maximum storage capacity for the 80GB drive becomes 60GB and the total storage capacity for this RAID O set is 120GB You may use two new drives or use an exi sting drive and a new drive to create a RAID 1 mirroring array for data protection the new drive must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive If you use two drives of diffe rent sizes the smaller capacity hard disk will be the base storage size For example if one hard disk has an 80GB storage capacity and the other hard disk has 60GB the maximum storage capacity for the RAID 1 set is 60GB Please verify the status of your hard disks be fore you set up your new RAID array Please backup your data first before you cre ate RAID functions In the process you create RAID the system will ask if you want to Clear Disk Data or not It is recommended to select Yes and then your future data building will operate under a clean environment 2 1 2 2 Install the hard disk drives Connect
