What Does it Look Like?

Why Do I Need It?

• If you want to speed up your disk speed
• If you need to combine two HDDs into one at ease
• If you need a secure data protection

How Does it Work?

Raid0 Speed up HDD

Speed mode distributes access across all hard disks, also called striping (equivalent to RAID0). RAID0 presents the best data speed but no data redundancy. RAID0 storage mode accelerates hard disk operating speed by using many disks in parallel.

 

RAID Secure HDD

RAID storage mode stores all data in duplicate on separate drives to protect against data loss due to failure. One drive mirrors the other at all times, equivalent to RAID1. Every write operation goes to both drives. RAID1 provides the highest level of data protection for critical data but halves the amount of storage capacity because all data must be stored twice.

 

JBOD Combine HDD

JBOD Storage mode concatenates a series of physical hard drives as a single large volume, resulting in a seamless expansion or virtual volume beyond the physical limitations of singularly connected hard drives.

 

2LUN Function Mode

The 2LUN storage mode enables each hard drive to be seen separately.
