System requirements

To use the SilverStore 2-Drive NAS, you will require the following components:

If you have bought the SilverStore 2-Drive NAS as a kit (no HDD delivered) we advise you to
use 2 Disks. In order to enable immediate use, your SilverStore 2-Drive NAS is pre-formatted
and configured as RAID 0. You therefore have the maximum storage space available. If you
value maximum data security, we recommend the configuration as RAID 1. In the "RAID 1"
mode, your hard disks will be mirrored, so that only half the maximum storage space will
be available. If one hard disk fails, your data can then be restored from the second hard
disk. Further information on hard disk configuration can be found in the "Storage" section
of this manual.
