Manage Disk Configuration; Locate A Disk - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

• RAID 6. Supported on ReadyNAS systems with at least six drive bays, this RAID level
requires a minimum of four installed disks. While very similar to RAID 5, RAID 6 uses two
sets of parity data, meaning that you are protected against data loss if one or two disks
fail. The total capacity of your storage system equals the capacity of all your disks minus
the capacity of two disks.
• RAID 10. Supported on systems with at least four drive bays, this RAID level duplicates
data the way that RAID 1 does, but also uses mirroring. RAID 10 provides excellent data
protection but at the cost of storage capacity. RAID 10 requires that an even number of
drives are installed in your system, and it requires that a minimum of four drives are
installed. The total capacity of your storage system equals the capacity of your smallest
drive multiplied by the number of drives, divided by two.

Manage Disk Configuration

You can use FrontView to manage the configuration of the hard disks installed in your
system.

Locate a Disk

If you have multiple disks installed in your ReadyNAS system, you might want to use the Disk
LEDs to identify which disk maps to which information in FrontView.

To locate a disk:
1. Select Volume > Volume Settings from the FrontView main menu.
The Volume Settings screen displays.
2. Click the Locate button in the row for the disk you want to identify.
That disk's LED blinks for 15 seconds.
For more information about the disk LEDs on your system, see the ReadyNAS Ultra, Ultra
Plus, NVX, and Pro Series Hardware Manual.
