Section 3 - Configuration
Creates two separate volumes (or one volume if
only one hard drive is present). Each hard drive
has its own volume.
Combines both hard drives in a linear fashion
which will create one large volume geared towards
maximum available space.
Combines both hard drives in a striped fashion
which will create one large volume geared towards
maximum performance.
Mirrors the hard drives for redundancy. If one
hard drive fails, the other still has all of the data.
Replace the failed hard drive and it will re-mirror,
restoring maximum data protection.
RAID
Standard:
JBOD (Linear):
RAID 0:
RAID 1:
In this section, you may configure your hard drives by clicking the
Set RAID Type and Re-Format
button. All data will
be lost during this process.

What is RAID?
RAID, short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a combination of two or more disks with the aim of providing
fault tolerance and improving performance.
There are several different levels of RAID, with each providing a different
method of sharing or distributing data amongst the drives. The NVR supports RAID levels 0 and 1.
RAID 0
RAID 0 provides
data striping
, which spreads
out blocks of data over both drives, but does
not provide data redundancy.
Although performance is improved, the lack of
fault tolerance means that if one drive fails, all
data in the array will be lost.
RAID 0
RAID 1
RAID 1 provides
mirroring
over both disks, with
the same read/write speed of a single disk.
A
RAID 1 array can only be as large as its smallest
member disk.
Because the data is stored on both disks,
RAID 1 provides fault tolerance and protection,
in addition to performance advantages.

If the NVR is malfunctioning or crashes
unexpectedly, click the
Restart
button on the
NVR. Restarting the NVR will take about one
and a half minutes.
This will reset all configurations to factory
default. User can select to preserve the
