RAID Mode Overview
1. GUI Mode
This mode offers configuration through the GUI (Graphic Utility Inter-
face), thus requiring that you install the included software. Using
this mode, you can allow different RAID combinations through the
software interface. This mode is recommended for professional and
advanced users.
GUI Mode retains the disk configuration of the last mode for which the
enclosure was set (i.e. if the disks were configured as JBOD before
being set for GUI, they will still show as two separate disks. However, if
set for RAID0, it will still display as one large disk).
2. JBOD (Single) Mode (default)
The installed drives will be
configured as JBOD (Single)(Just
a Bunch Of Disks). The number
of available drives is equal to the
number of physical drives.
3. BIG (Span) Mode
Installed drives are
configured to offer
maximum storage space
(concatenated), but no
additional performance or
data redundancy.
