7.1 Overview

Several NSA features require a valid internal volume. This chapter covers the
management of volumes and disks (both internal and external).

7.2 What You Can Do

Use the Storage screen
in the NSA. You can view information on all volumes, create internal and
external volumes, and configure the volume's properties.

7.3 What You Need to Know

Disk
The NSA requires an initialized SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)
hard disk to function. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for steps on how to initialize
the hard disk.
SATA or Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is a computer bus
technology that allows high-speed data transfer to and from hard disks.
An eSATA (external SATA) hard disk has the same specifications as a SATA hard
disk but is attached to the NSA using a cable. It can be used either to expand
storage or backup data. The eSATA hard disk is optional.
You can attach one SATA and one eSATA to the NSA hard disk tray. Both SATA
and eSATA hard disks are treated by the NSA as internal disks/volumes (refer to
Section 7.4.1 on page
The NSA can work with up to two USB hard disks. The USB-attached storage disks
are treated by NSA as external disks/volumes (refer to
152).
