Volume Types
The features of each volume type are explained below.
Notes:
• Use RAID Builder to create a volume, not the Disk Management options in Windows Storage Server.
• When volumes are deleted or formatted, or the RAID mode is changed, all data stored in that volume is erased. Before executing these operations, back up any important data.
• In this manual, "recover" means reverting the TeraStation (including the data) to its former state prior to the drive failure. It doesn't refer to reading data from a failed hard drive.
• RAID synchronization will run automatically after a volume is created. File transfers will be slower while it is running, which will take about 5 hours per terabyte.
• After a volume is created, unused extra space can't be added to the volume.
• Some space on each drive is not accessible because it is used by the system. The amount used on each drive is below.
Drive 1: 50 MB
Drive 2: 50 MB
Drive 3 to 6: 100 GB + 150 MB
