Page 12: Raid Storage Policies
RAID Storage Policies NOTE: The maximum supported partition size for 32-bit Windows systems is 2 TB. Windows cannot detect multiple drives in any RAID mode if the total size exceeds 2TB. Hard drives in non-RAID mode (JBOD) are supported up to 2TB. GUI MODE (factory default) GUI mode allows you to use the SteelVine Manager GUI to set the storage policy and other settings as well as monitor the status of... -
Page 13: Big Mode
BIG MODE BIG concatenates a series of physical hard drives into a single large volume; Hard drives A and B are combined with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of the two drives. There is no data redundancy, so if one of the disks fail, the data on that disk will be lost. - Page 14 RAID 0 (Fast) RAID0 is a combination of two physical hard drives, where the data is striped (split) between them. It presents the best data speed, as the data is split and written to both disks at the same time, but there is no data redundancy.

Page 15: Raid 1 (Safe)
RAID 1 (Safe) RAID1 allows the enclosure to automatically copy data to both hard drives. It stores all data in duplicate on separate drives to protect against data loss due to drive failure. It provides the highest level of data protection for critical data that you cannot afford to lose if a hard drive fails. -
Page 16: Raid / Safe33
RAID / SAFE33 SAFE33 creates two virtual volumes; one SAFE volume and one BIG volume. This should be used when you need one volume for critical data and another for non-critical. It reduces the cost of additional hard drives in operations where non-critical data could be lost without severe consequences. -
