WARNING:
Existing data on the Media Hub will
be lost; Linksys strongly recommends that you
back up its data to your computer or an external
hard disk before you continue.
When you set the Media Hub to the Increase Protection:
•
RAID 1 mode, the Media Hub will be unavailable for
approximately 15 minutes and then automatically
reboot.

•
on the two disks.
Depending on disk size, disk synchronization may take
•
from several minutes to several hours. Synchronization
progress can be viewed from the Disk screen. Rebooting
or removing power from the Media Hub during this
time is not recommended.
NOTE:
You may use the Media Hub during disk
synchronization; however, it will perform at
slower speeds.
After configuration, available disk space will be the
•
size of Disk 1, and your data will be more protected
from damage or loss if a disk fails.
