Step through the wizard to create the array.
Notes:
• You can also configure RAID settings from Easy Admin.
• After changing the RAID mode, create a shared folder.

Configuring a Hot Spare

If you have a hot spare configured and an array fails, the TeraStation immediately switches over to the hot spare. To
use a hot spare, you need an extra drive that's not part of any array and a RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, or RAID 6 array.
Notes:
• All data on the hot spare drive is deleted when it is configured as a hot spare and again when it changes from
a spare to a drive in the array.
• A hot spare cannot be configured for TeraStation models with only two hard drives. Use RAID 1 instead.
