Advantages of RAID
RAID optimizes the two drives in this storage
system to give you either big capacity and extra
speed or extra data protection.
Extra Data Protection (RAID 1)
Reservehalf the capacity for reliable
data protection.
Set to RAID 1 this system generates an exact
copy, or mirror, of your data in real time. If either
drive goes down, you can use the other one until
you have replaced the faulty drive and rebuilt your
mirrored system.
Extraordinary Capacity
and Speed (RAID 0)
Spread data across two drives for high
capacity and accelerated data transfer.
Set to RAID 0 this system gives you the full
capacity of the combined drives plus the
performance you need for smooth digital editing
and complex graphic design projects.
Examples of the number of
photos, songs, videos, and
any other files that can be
stored on a hard drive are
provided for illustrative
purposes only. Your results
will vary based on file size
and format, settings, features,
software, and other factors.
