1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Conceptronic Grab’n’GO Media Storage Server with RAID
0/1, the easiest and fastest way to share data, files and multimedia on your network.
This Storage Server contains two 3.5” SATA hard disk interfaces, allowing you to build a
mass-storage center for backing up your valued data. In addition, it supports RAID 1 mirroring
technology that can effectively prevent your data from being lost because of the hard disk
failure. (Note: You have to install two hard disk drives to take advantage of the RAID 1
mirroring technology.) It also supports other features such as Standard, JBOD and RAID 0.
The Storage Server is specially designed for businesses and SOHO that demand high-capacity
and high-performance solution that can be securely and easily accessed through any web
browser. The included Installation CD provides an exclusive utility – Easy Search, which
