Product Redundancy
The NAS 1000s is specifically designed to perform file serving
tasks for networks, using industry standard components to ensure
reliability.
Other industry standard features, such as redundant array of
independent drives (RAID) and remote manageability, further
enhance the overall dependability of the NAS 1000s.
To ensure redundancy and reliability, the hard drives installed in
the NAS 1000s are configured so that a single drive failure will
not cause data loss or system failure. The NAS 1000s is
configured with dual boot capibility. When powered on, the NAS
1000s can boot using a primary OS or a secondary recovery OS.
The primary OS resides on drive 0 and is mirrored on drive 1
while the secondary OS resides on drive 2 and is mirrored on
drive 3. If the primary OS becomes corrupted and un-bootable,
the secondary OS is available for data backup prior to using the
Quick Restore DVD to restore the system to the factory default
state.
The data volume is configured as a RAID 5 volume across all
four drives. This ensures redundancy in the event of a drive
failure and the data volume is accessible by both the primary OS
and secondary OS.
