3. DRIVE INSTALLATION & STORAGE CONFIGURATION
3.1 SATA SSD or HDD Drive Installation
Important Note!
Handle drives carefully to avoid damage. Always use an anti-static wrist strap
or other grounding method. Place the enclosure tray on a clean, solid surface.
1) Check that the enclosure is turned OFF and not connected to the computer.
2) Carefully insert the SSD drives. The connectors are keyed to fit in one direction only.
3) Gently press down on the drives until they are flush with the side
mounting holes
4) Hold down the drive and secure the mounting screws with the
screwdriver.
3.2 SSD Drive Storage Configuration Modes
JBOD Mode=1down/2down (
Just a bunch of disks) Drives are operated as
independent storage. Configuration for 1 or 2 drives.
RAID 1 Mode=1up/2down
Mirroring for fault tolerance. Writes data to both drives
at the same time for the highest reliability and redundancy. Configuration for 2 drives.
Notes: Use identical SSD drives from the same manufacturer for the best result.
If one disk fails, insert a replacement disk and wait while the data is copied.
RAID 0 Mode=1down/2up
Disk striping interleaves data across both drives to
improve performance. Configuration for 2 drives.
Notes: Use identical SSD drives from the same manufacturer for the best result.
If one disk fails, back-up the data and start over with a new disk.
Failure of 1 disk causes a loss of data on both disks. Always back-up critical
data on separate disk.
