INSERTING/REPLACING THE HARD DRIVES IN THE RAID SYSTEM To assemble the RAID System, please follow the steps listed in the instructions below: 1. Place the RAID System with its front view facing you. Position one hand on the front edge and one on the back edge of the top lid. Simultaneously, push the lid in the direction away from you, front to back, using your thumbs. A “click” sound would indicate the release of the top lid security clasp. 2.
FASTEN THE HANDLES ONTO THE HARD DRIVES 3. Place the hard drive with the metal cover side facing up and ensure that the interface connectors are oriented toward your left side. Connectors 4. Position the handle to the hard drive end, which is facing away from the interface connectors, and align it with the screw hole openings.
5. Fasten the handle onto the hard drive by inserting and tightening the screws on both ends of the handle. 6. Finally, test sliding the handle to make sure that the holes glide smoothly on the screw guides. Repeat the same procedures for rest of the hard drives. The auto-limiting segmented screws are designed to prevent the hard drives or/and the handles from damages due to over-tightening. Furthermore, this design makes the handle slide easily without any tightness.
9. Hold the hard drive with the metal cover side facing you and the handle attached on the upward position. When inserting the hard drive on its reverse side, the SmartGuider* System won’t be able to align and the hard drive cannot be inserted. 10. Align the handle with the guide rails and slide the hard drive into the indicated slot. Firmly push downward until a “thump” sound is heard. Repeat the same procedures for the rest of hard drives.
11. Place RAID System with its front view facing you and the top lid on. Position one hand on the front edge and one on the back edge of the top lid. Simultaneously, push the lid firmly downward and toward you, back to front. A “click” sound would indicate grasp of the top lid security clasp. CONNECTING THE RAID SYSTEM TO A COMPUTER DC IN eSATA 1. Connect the AC/DC power adapter.
eSATA DC IN 2. Insert both ends of the USB, eSATA or FireWire cable(s) into the corresponding port of the RAID System and the host.

RAID MODES A Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks (RAID) is a system that utilizes multiple hard drives to share or replicate data among the disks. The benefit, depending on the selected RAID Mode (combinations of disks), is one or more of increased data integrity, fault-tolerance, throughput or capacity when compared to single drives. Deleting the current partition prior to changing RAID modes is highly recommended.
RAID 1 (MIRRORING) RAID 1 (Mirroring) consists of at least two drives storing duplicate copies of the same data. In this mode, the data is simultaneously written to two disks. Thus, the storage capacity of a two-disk array is combined into a single disk and the capacity is limited to the size of the smallest disk. To rebuild, the Target hard drive should be added as the “Spare”. After the RAID System recognizes the target hard drive, the rebuild process will begin when the hard drive LED starts blinking.
SPAN Spanning provides another maximum capacity solution, which some call it as “Large”. Spanning combines multiple hard drives into a single logical unit. Unlike Striping, Spanning writes data to the first physical drive until it reaches full capacity. When the first disk reaches full capacity, data is written to the second physical disk. Spanning provides the maximum possible storage capacity, but does not increase performance.
RAID 5 RAID 5 uses block-level striping with parity data distributed across all member disks. It is also called Parity RAID. Every time a block is written to a disk in a RAID 5 disk array, a parity block is generated within the same stripe. A block is composed of many consecutive sectors on a disk. A series of blocks (a block from each of the disks in an array) is collectively called a "stripe". The parity information inside the parity block is not the identical copy of the source data.
RAID 1+0 Striping Mirror Disk 1 Mirror Disk 3 Disk 2 Disk 4 RAID 1+0 requires a minimum of 4 drives in an array. If one of the drives defects, the identical backup data is available offhand. JBOD (None RAID) Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) or None RAID refer to a group of hard drives. In JBOD, the number of logical drives is equal to the number of physical drives. This mode allows the RAID System to operate as a multi-disk storage enclosure, but provides no data redundancy.
HOTSPARE (MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC REBUILD) REBUILD In RAID 1, CLONE, and RAID 5 modes, if one of the hard drives fails and is replaced with a functional hard drive, it needs to be assigned under Advanced Mode Menu as the “Spare” before the RAID System will rebuild the Target Disk (the new functional hard drive or HotSpare) with data from the Source Disk (the remaining functional hard drive) sector by sector.
The rebuilding state status will reflect on the bottom of the RAID MASTER Menu. The Rebuild Speed of the USB 2.0 Model is 200 GB per hour or 56.88 MB per second, approximately. When the chipset is processing the Rebuild task, if data is accessed during this period, the speed of data access is depends on priority setting under Advanced Mode Menu; thus, access of the hard drive during a Rebuild is not recommended. Even if the RAID System loses connection to the host, the rebuild continues.

Q&As GENERAL Q: How do I choose the proper RAID mode for my RAID System based on the tasks I need to perform? A: Since the RAID System is a “Mass Storage” device, which means its size capacity is sufficient for data management, the different RAID mode settings can help you administer the enormous data storage from the hard drives combination. It is highly recommended to choose the RAID mode based on what is the essential factor to complete your task.
Q: I would like to format my hard drives with the FAT (a.k.a. File Allocation Table) format, which can be read and written by both Mac and PC. Is there any limitation on its capacity? A: Yes, please check the table below for reference.
REBUILD Q: Does the RAID System have to be connected to the host computer when it is in rebuild mode? A: No, it does not have to be. The RAID System can support offline rebuild, which means it can perform the rebuild function without being connected to a host computer. Q: I replaced a hard drive with the new one when the RAID System is rebuilding and a warning notice of “the device is not safely removed” pops out. What should I do? A: This only occurs when the RAID System is connected under the USB 2.
RAID MASTER: FAILED RAID Q: How will the RAID MASTER alert me if one or more of the hard drives have failed? A: A popup window will appear as alert indicating which hard drives have failed. After clicking “OK” to confirm the alert, select the sub-menu “RAID and Disk Information” under Basic Mode Menu for more detailed information.
RAID MASTER: ADJUST HARD DRIVE STORAGE SIZE Q: Can the hard drive storage size be adjusted using the RAID MASTER? A: Yes, the hard drive storage size can be adjusted to better fit your host OS. Some older OS can only function the RAID System under a particular size limitation (please see “Hard Drive Capacity” for more detailed information). A sliding guide will appear under the hard drives image once selected. Adjust it from right to left based on your desired storage capacity.
