EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This device is a high performance stand-alone SATA RAID hard disk storage system.
SATA RAID hard disk storage system's RAID controller has RAID-0 and RAID-0+1 and NRAID modes which
can provide up to 2TB hard disk space at RAID-0 and 1TB hard disk space at RAID-0+1. SATA RAID hard disk
storage system is very easy-to-use without complicate system setting. Plug-and-play design allows interfacing
with a DVR or a PC via SATA cable. With versatile RAID setting, reliable system performance, large hard disk
space, low maintenance cost, and plug-and-play interface, SATA RAID hard disk storage system is the best
solution for DVR and many other applications.

Based on different applications, the following RAID mode is highly recommended:
For DVR application, if one HDD is failure and gets replaced for a new one, the video of the rest HDDs can still
be retrieved. There is a risk for loosing the video on the failed HDD. However, if the video is very critical,
RAID-0+1 is recommended.
1. DVR application:
If the data is very important, RAID-0+1 is recommended.
2. Data critical application:

CONNECTION
To connect SATA RAID hard disk storage system to a PC or a DVR, please follow the instructions:
1. Connect SATA cable from SATA RAID hard disk storage system to a PC or a DVR
2. Power up SATA RAID hard disk storage system and make sure all HDDs get recognized and installed.
3. Power up the PC or DVR.

DATAACCESS and DATA RECOVERY
RAID-0 mode records data concurrently on all four HDDs. If one of the HDDs is failed, the rest of the data on
the HDDs CAN NOT be restored.
2. RAID-0 data access:
The sequence of data writing for HDDs is from X0 to Y1. Y0 and X1 HDDs are mirroring HDDs of X0 and Y1.
X0 and Y0 are mutual mirroring. Y1 and X1 are mutual mirroring. For example, if Y1 is failed, please install
same brand and size of HDD for Y1. The data on X1 will get transferred to Y1.
When RAID controller detects a HDD failure, LCD panel shows "F" for that HDD. Please turn off SATA RAID
and replace the HDD. Turn on the power of SATA RAID.A progress counter indicates that the data of backup
HDD gets duplicated to the newly installed HDD. After the duplicating process, please turn on the PC or DVR.
3. RAID-0+1 data access:
NRAID mode accesses HDDs in X0, X1, Y0 and Y1 sequence order. If one of the HDD is failed, please replace
the HDD. The data on rest of the HDDs can still be retrieved.

FAQ
Q1: Can I install different brands of HDDs or HDD sizes in SATA RAID hard disk storage system?
A1: It is highly recommended to use same brand and same size of HDDs in SATA RAID hard disk storage system.
Q2: What will happen if I install different size of HDDs in SATA RAID hard disk storage system?
A2: Only the smallest HDD size gets used for SATA RAID hard disk storage system for RAID-0 and RAID-0+1.
Q3: Can I still use SATA RAID hard disk storage system if LCD panel shows "X" at HDD status?
A3: The HDD could be broken, try rebooting SATA RAID hard disk storage system. If rebooting can not still
solve the problem. Send the HDD back to the manufactruer for repair.
