setting is the RAID 1.)

drives to set the drive mode will result in complete data loss. If you must change the drive mode,
make sure to backup all data prior to the mode change.

to the new RAID mode.

different manufactures. However, if the user expects a better efficiency, we strongly recommend
the user to use the two hard drives from the same manufacturer.
8. Please make sure that the two hard drives are free from bad blocks or defects prior to installation
in order to avoid system crashes or data loss.

capacity stated on the hard drives combined once the drives have been formatted.
