    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. 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.

  • Page 35: Working With Raid Arrays

    RAID 50 RAID 50 arrays are available for TeraStations with 8 hard drives. In this mode, two RAID 5 arrays are combined into a RAID 0 array. The total usable space for 6 drives in a RAID 50 array is equal to 6 x the capacity of the smallest drive. RAID 10 RAID 10 arrays are available for TeraStations with 4 or more hard drives.
