  • Page 45: Chapter 4 Managing Storage

    Chapter 4 Managing Storage RAID Modes 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 array.

  • Page 46: Working With Raid Arrays

    RAID 0 Combines 2 or more drives into a single array. The usable drive space is the total space of all drives used. This simple RAID mode offers faster performance than RAID modes that include parity. If a single drive in the array fails, then all data in the array is lost.

  • Page 47: Changing Raid Mode

    Changing RAID Mode To change the RAID mode, first put the drives in JBOD. In Settings, click Storage. Click to the right of "RAID". Click the array to delete. Click Delete RAID Array. The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. Click OK.

  • Page 48: Shutting Down The Terastation Automatically If Error Occurred

    Choose a RAID array. Select a RAID mode and the drives to be used, then click Create RAID Array. The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. Click OK when finished. Notes: • You can also configure RAID settings from Easy Admin. • After changing the RAID mode, create a shared folder.
  • Page 49 For the TS51210RH series users, it is recommended to enable email notifications if enabling auto shutdown because the TS51210RH series will extinguish all LEDs when shutting down and the failed drive will not be identified. In such a case, you can confirm the failed drive number in the notification email. To configure auto shutdown, follow the procedure below.

  • Page 50: Rebuilding The Raid Array Automatically

    Select "Shut down" for "Error Behavior" and click OK. Rebuilding the RAID Array Automatically If auto RAID rebuild is enabled, RAID arrays will rebuild automatically after a failed drive is replaced. You may enable or disable auto RAID rebuild by following the procedure below. Note: This function is only for the TS51210RH series.

  • Page 51: Configuring A Hot Spare

    Click Edit. Select "Yes" for "Automatically Rebuild if New Drive Is Detected" and click OK. 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 or RAID 5 array.

  • Page 52: Rmm (Raid Mode Manager)

    Choose a RAID array. Click Set as a hot spare. Click Yes. The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. Click OK when finished.

  • Page 57: Dismounting Drives

    Dismounting Drives If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may dismount external drives with the function button, or any drive from Settings. If the TeraStation is off, then all drives are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely. Note: Do not dismount internal drives while a RAID array is rebuilding or RMM is being configured.

  • Page 58: Checking Drives

    When the following message is displayed, it is safe to unplug the drive. Note: To remount the drive, unplug it and then plug it back in. Checking Drives A drive check tests the data on a drive in the TeraStation or one that is connected via USB for integrity. Errors are fixed automatically.

  • Page 59: Ssd Trimming

    Click Check. You have the option of deleting information files from macOS during the check if desired. SSD Trimming If an SSD has been running for a long time, drive performance may decline. To prevent this, an SSD TRIM may restore drive performance.

  • Page 60: Displaying S.m.a.r.t. Information

    Note: Click Immediately to run an SSD TRIM immediately. S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) monitors internal drives to detect and report various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures. When a failure is anticipated by S.M.A.R.T., the user may choose to replace the drive to avoid outages and data loss.

  • Page 61: Checking Drive Condition

    The S.M.A.R.T. information for the drive will be displayed. Different information may be displayed depending on the brand of drives in your TeraStation. Critical attributes are displayed in bold. Checking Drive Condition For Hard Drives Attributes with current value or worst value less than or equal to the threshold value may be significant. If an attribute reports a failure, or has had one in the past, it will be displayed in the status column.
  • Page 62 In Settings, click Storage. Select Drives to format an internal drive or USB Drives to format an external drive. Select the drive or array to format, then click Format Drive. Select a format type, then click Format. The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. Depending on the size and the formatted file system of your drive, the format may take several minutes or several hours to complete.

  • Page 63: Encrypting Drives

    Encrypting Drives Internal drives (and arrays) can be encrypted with 256-bit AES during formatting. Encrypted drives and arrays are then readable only from that specific TeraStation. To decrypt a drive or array, clear the "Encryption" checkbox and format it again. Erasing Data on the TeraStation Completely Under some circumstances, data from formatted drives can be recovered.

  • Page 64: Drive Quotas

    All data on the TeraStation will be permanently erased. Drive Quotas You can set a drive quota to limit drive space for each user or group. You can also set a threshold. If the drive space exceeds the set threshold, an email notification will be sent. To configure email notifications for the drive quota, refer to the "Email Notification"...
