- Page 7 Congratulations! Your TeraStation is set up. Please see the TeraStation User Manual options. Note on RAID arrays: TeraStation uses RAID (“Redundant Array of Independent Disks”) technology to control the four hard drives in your TeraStation. RAID may be configured several ways: RAID Spanning - All four drives are combined into one large drive, giving the maximum capacity for your TeraStation. RAID Spanning is efficient, but has no redundancy. If one hard drive fails, all data on the TeraStation is lost. RAID 1 (mirroring) - Hard drives (or spanned pairs of hard drives) are arranged in mirrored pairs. Each half of the pair reads and writes exactly the same data. This costs you half of the total capacity of your TeraStation, but provides excellent redundancy. If a hard drive fails, the mirror set continues to operate, allowing you to work on normally. You may replace the damaged or defective drive at any time, and normal RAID 1 mirroring will then be automatically restored.
