RAID: Read/Write on each HDD simultaneously
Capacity: Multiply the smallest capacity by 4
RAID: Mirroring on each hard drive simultaneously
Pg. 14
Capacity equals to the smallest HDD multiply by 2
Note:
1. HDD1/HDD2 create a set of RAID 1: HDD1/2
HDD3/HDD4 create a set of RAID 1: HDD3/4
Two sets (HDD1/2, HDD3/4) create a set of RAID 0
2. When two hard drives are installed, the device will perform
RAID 1 configuration. Total capacity equals capacity of smaller
drive
