Chapter 4 Managing Your Storage
RAID Arrays
TeraStations support many types of RAID. The type of RAID arrays available for use depends on how many drives are installed in your TeraStation.
Default RAID Mode TeraStation
TS5800D
TS5600D
TS5400D
TS5400R
TS5200D
RAID 5
RAID 1
Notes:
• If you change the RAID mode, all data on the array is deleted. This is true for every procedure in this chapter.
Always back up any important data before performing actions that affect your RAID.
• After the RAID mode is changed (except when creating a RAID 0 array or JBOD), the TeraStation performs a RAID check that will take about 10 hours per TB. File transfers are slower during this period. While the message “RAID
I17 ARRAYx Resyncing” is displayed on the LCD panel, do not turn off the TeraStation. If you do, the RAID check starts over.
• If the TeraStation is restarted or shut down while changing the RAID mode, the message displayed on the LCD panel changes from I46 or I47 to I18.
RAID 6
*
RAID 6 arrays are available for TeraStations with 4 or more hard drives. RAID 6 combines 4 or more drives into a single array. The usable space is equal to the sum of the capacity of all drives minus the capacity of two drives. For example, if 4 drives are combined into a RAID 6 array, the usable space is the sum of the capacity of 2 drives. If 2 drives in the array are damaged, you can recover data by replacing them. If 3 or more drives are damaged, your data is lost.
RAID 61
***
RAID 61 arrays are available for TeraStations with 8 or more drives. In this mode, two RAID 6 arrays are mirrored in a RAID
1 array. 8 drives in a RAID 61 array have a usable capacity of 2 x the capacity of the smallest drive.
RAID 60
***
RAID 60 arrays are available for TeraStations with 8 or more drives. In this mode, two RAID 6 arrays are combined in a
RAID 0 array. 8 drives in a RAID 60 array will have a usable capacity of 4 x the capacity of the smallest drive.
RAID 5
*
RAID 5 arrays are available for TeraStations with 3 or more hard drives. RAID 5 combines 3 or more drives into a single
