4.2 Serial ATA HDD

Populated with two Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs), each unit can
manage as much as 4,000 gigabytes (i.e., 4 terabytes) of data, depending on the
capacity of the hard disk drives that are installed. By combining multiple units in a
daisy-chained hierarchy structure, you can increase the total storage capacity of your
system.

4.3. 4 Working Modes (BIG,JBOD,RAID0,RAID1)

You can configure the FANTEC MR-35DU3 to use any of the following Storage
Policies to map the appliance's physical hard drives to virtual drives that are visible to
the host computer. The virtual drives are called volumes in the GUI. The host
operating system treats each volume as if it were a single physical drive.
This virtualization allows you to overcome restrictions that are imposed by physical
hard drives, such as speed, storage capacity or data storage reliability
