Clone Mode

When 2 drives are 

connected to the HPM-XA, 

and DIP switch is set to this 

setting, the 2 drives will be 

configured as a 2-drive 

RAID1 array.

Clone’s action is similar to 

RAID1. However, all of the 

hard drives will be mirrored. 

Clone mode is useful 

especially when users like 

to copy data from a source 

hard drive to the drives 

connected to the HPM-XA.

RAID Setting Notes:

When 4 drives are connected to the HPM-XA, the 4 drives will be 

configured as a 4-drive RAID10 array.
