10.1 Creating an Array

Purpose:
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive
components into a logical unit. A RAID setup stores data over multiple hard disk drives to provide enough
redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed across the drives in one of
several ways called "RAID levels", depending on what level of redundancy and performance is required. The
DS-9664NI-RH supports RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID10.
Before you start:
Please install the HDD (s) properly and it is recommended to use the same enterprise-level HDDs (including
model and capacity) for array creation and configuration so as to maintain reliable and stable running of the
disks.
Introduction:
The DS-9664NI-RH series can store the data (such as record, picture, log information) in the HDD only after
you have created the virtual disk, or you have configured network HDD (refer to Chapter 11.2 Managing
Network HDD). Our device provides two ways for creating the virtual disk, including one-touch
configuration and manual configuration.
Refer to the following procedure for creating and configuring the RAID:
