RAID 0 - Stripping: 

Two HDDs will show up as one large single drive but speed 

performance will boost up. The two HDDs will write Data in “column” effect. This form 
of array splits each piece of Data across both HDDs in segments. Data are store 
between first HDD and second HDD. While the HDD is stripe in writing, the next head 
of next HDD is move to next track to write. The Data is writing without any form of 
data-checking. Once one HDD is damage and all Data can be lost.   

 
 

RAID 1 – Mirroring: 

Using this mode will require 2 identical HDDs; meaning they 

must be the same capacity, brand and model number. Under RAID1, it will create an 
extra copy (or mirror) set of data to second drive. The backup data are more 
important for safe keeping and the available data only show up in one large single 
drive. This is useful when first HDD fail and it can be replaced by second set of 
identical data instantly.   

 
The LED panel in the front indicates accessing of HDD1, HDD2 and also when 
rebuilding the data. Error LED lights up when HDD1 or HDD2 fail, rebuilding 
incorrectly and HDD not present.. 
 
For installation of the DB-R35DUE, please refer to Hard Drive Assembly. 
 
Note: For each time changing the “Mode” of DB-R35DUE, Please use RIB-Cleaner 
program in our CD-ROM to clean the RIB table of the HDD.
