RAID Settings

By default, your OneTouch III Turbo Edition is configured as a
striped (RAID 0) volume. In this configuration, the OneTouch III
software combines the capacity of both enclosed hard drives –
giving you one large, fast disk. However, if one drive fails, you
will lose all data stored.
To protect your data, you can mirror (RAID 1) the drives in
your OneTouch III Turbo Edition. This configuration provides
you with a backup of your data. In the event of a single disk
failure, your data is secured on the second drive.
The only drawback to a RAID 1 is the loss of disk space. A
RAID 1 configuration will decrease the overall capacity of your
OneTouch III Turbo Edition by 50%.
1. Launch the OneTouch Manager and click on the
Settings button.
