If you have any questions about RAIDON products or would like to receive the latest product information,
This system can only transfer data to one computer through one interface at a time.
After the hard disk is formatted, the actual total capacity of the ST2-B31 detected by the
computer operating system will vary from the sum of all hard disk capacities stated by the
manufacturer.
All existing data will be deleted when this product is set up for the first time. Please ensure
that all data on the hard disk has been backed up before installation to avoid data loss.
Before a new HDD is installed in the ST2-B31, please make sure that there are no bad
tracks or defects to avoid data loss.
If the ST2-B31 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning off the power.
To prevent data loss, do not remove any of the hard disks while the system is running.
Once the system has been initialized, do not switch hard disks around during use. Doing
so may prevent the RAID from being recognized by the system.
Once RAID mode has been set up, the switching of hard drives will lead to the removal of
data from the hard disks. Please be sure to backup the data on the hard disk before making
any switches.
Please always connect the USB cable to the computer to ensure the energy saving
function operating normally.
If the ST2-B31 needs to be shut down or disconnected, please ensure the HDD is safely
removed through your operating system before turning off the power.
Once the computer turn to “Standby” or “Sleep” mode, ST2-B31 will still complete the
rebuilding function. However, it will not change to “Standby” mode after rebuilding. You
need to shut down the ST2-B31 manually or wake up the computer to synchronize
“Standby ” or “Sleep” mode together.
ST2-B31 uses a 12V/5V AC/DC Adapter. Please do not use other non-certified Power
Adapter to avoid damaging to your ST2-B31 unit.
We strongly recommend backing up important data stored on the ST2-B31 to another
storage device or a remote site. STARDOM will not be held liable for the damage or loss of
data you stored on the ST2-B31.

RAID 0
RAID 1
BIG
JBOD
Provide a big storage capacity and the data transfer efficiency, but no data porotection feature.
Because of this Mirroring feature, your two HDDs/SSDs will keep an identical data after
your wtiting works. In case one of the two HDDs/SSDs is defect, ST2-B31 would still work
fine with only one of them. And once inserting a good HDD/SSD as the defect replacement,
it will do the rebuilding work by itself.
You could enjoy a double memory capacity from this BIG feature, but no data porotection
feature.
With JBOD mode, you could actually use the two HDDs/SSDs as the normal two storages
for your large memory capacity requirement, but no data porotection feature.
