Please read carefully before installing hard drives:
Hardware Connection Diagram
1. Using hard drives with the same brand name and capacity is highly recommended to achieve
optimal performance. If the hard drives are different in capacity, the total capacity will equal to
twice of the smaller drive’s capacity.
2. New hard drives are highly recommended. A used hard drive has a higher defective rate, and
a defective hard drive may cause RAID failure and loss of data.
