Custom
Your options to select the level of RAID are predicated upon the number of disks in your array. For example, a
three-disk configuration allows you to select from LaCie SimplyRAID, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5. A four- or
five-disk configuration offers LaCie SimplyRAID, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 5, or RAID 6.
Adding a spare: If you intend to create a volume with a spare drive, you must leave at least one hard drive
free. For example, a four-disk RAID 6 array with spare would require that you create the RAID 6 with the first
four disks (from left to right) before moving to the next section to add the fifth hard disk as the spare.
Install disks into the enclosure before following the directions below. For instructions, see
