Page 11: Partitioning Volumes
2.1.5 Partitioning Volumes This section explains how to partition volumes after initializing them. You must partition volumes for the host computer's operating system before you can store data on the volumes. Refer to the operating system's documentation for further guidance. Partitioning a hard drive MS Windows Important: Before reconfiguring a volume, back up your data and delete previously... - Page 12 Every disk should appear with the word “Basic”, a size value that shows the available storage capacity, and a status of “Online”. Instead of Basic, a disk could appear Unknown, Dynamic, or Not Initialized. A window opens with the selected disk (all Unknown disks may appear in this window).
- Page 13 5. Select the Primary or Extended option and click Next. 6. Specify the partition size. By default, the partition occupies the entire volume. Click Next. 7. Assign a drive letter or mount path and click Next. 8. Name and format the partition and click . 9.
- Page 14 Mac OS X Important: Before reconfiguring a volume, back up your data and drag the old drive to the trash to un-mount previously defined partition. If no hard drives are connected to the Storage Appliance, the Processor disk (8.0 GB Config Disk Media) will appear. Do not remove or modify that partition.

4.3. 4 Working Modes (BIG,JBOD,RAID0,RAID1) You can configure the FANTEC MR-35VU3R 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. - Page 17 The BIG storage policy concatenates a series of physical hard drives as a single large volume; resulting in a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the physical limitations of singularly connected hard drives. BIG storage policy delivers maximum storage space without a single large capacity and costly hard drive. Hard drive A and B are concatenated into a single virtual volume in the Figure below with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of each of the physical hard drives A and B.
- Page 18 RAID0 The RAID0 storage policy distributes access across all hard disks, also called striping. RAID0 presents the best data speed but no data redundancy. RAID0 storage policy accelerates hard disk operating speed by using many disks in parallel. Hard drive data segments are written to different disks simultaneously which increases performance while sacrificing data redundancy.
