Adding and Managing Storage Pools

A Storage Pool is a grouping of drives with a certain storage size and an assigned data protection. A 
Storage Pool has a minimum of one drive. By default, your px6-300d Network Storage has one Storage 
Pool. If you add drives to your px6-300d, you can create additional Storage Pools. If your px6-300d 
includes different capacity drives, you will need to create additional Storage Pools as all drives in a single 
Storage Pool must be the same capacity.

If your px6-300d has one or more SSD drives installed, you can create a Cache Storage Pool, which is a 
grouping of solid-state drives that helps increase read and write performance to 

volumes

 in a data Storage 

Pool. See 

Creating a Cache Storage Pool

, for more information on this option.

Adding a Data Storage Pool

Adding a new Storage Pool requires available drives, that is drives that are not already incorporated into an 
existing Storage Pool. If you want to use multiple Storage Pools and all drives are already included in an 
existing Storage Pool, you will need to delete the existing Storage Pool before proceeding with the steps 
below.

1.  Open the Drive Management feature and click 

Add Storage Pool.

2.  In the Information section, enter a name for the Storage   Pool.

3.  To set the RAID protection, choose a value from the drop-down menu:

Double Parity (RAID 6): Combines six or more drives in a way that protects data against 
loss of any two drives.

Parity (RAID 5): Uses the space corresponding to one drive-size for protection, leaving 
remaining space for storing actual data.

Mirror Stripe (RAID 10): Uses half of the storage space for protection, leaving half for actual 
data. Protects data in the event of a single drive failure. Requires at least four drives.

None (RAID 0): Uses all of the storage space for data. Does not protect against data loss in 
the event of drive failure; however, the drive are striped for better performance.

None: Uses all of the storage space for data, providing contiguous storage space by 
concatenating all member drives. Does not protect against data loss in the event of drive 
failure.

4.  Select the checkbox of the drive or drives you want to add to the Storage Pool. All drives in a 

Storage Pool must be the same size. If your px6-300d includes different capacity drives, you will 
need to create a Storage Pool for each capacity grouping.

5.  Check Enable periodic consistency check to enable a monthly parity or mirror consistency 

check.

The check helps to prevent a single drive failure from becoming a two-drive failure, resulting in 
data loss. The check runs for several hours and can affect performance of the px6-300d. If you do 
not want to run the check, remove the check mark for this option.

6.  If commonly used Shares, Backups, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and SharedMedia do 

not already exist on the px6-300d device, check Create commonly used Shares to create these 
Shares and add them to the Storage Pool.
