Page 9: Chapter 1 Raid Setting
After the hardware is installed, you should set the RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk) level. Otherwise, the computer system will not correctly identify XL-RAID-526SA. Under XL-RAID-526SA framework, as 2.5’’ HD and 3.5’’ HD are independent to each other, they must be set respectively. After setting, the two sets of SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) interface must be connected to read the two sets of corresponding RAID. - Page 10 A. RAID 0 The capacities of all four 3.5’’HDs are added together and accelerate the reading speed. If the capacities of the four HDs are different from each other, you can use the HD with the lowest capacity as the basis for adding. For example, if RAID 0 needs to be set for one 100GB HD and three 500GB HDs, the total capacity should be: 100GB x 4 = 400GB.
