Step 4: Create a RAID Array
Getting Sarted Guide
Chapter
3
To create an array:
1. From the Manager Menu, click Storage RAID.
The RAID page appears:
2. The available disks appear in the New RAID Device table. Select each disk that you want to
include in the array.
NOTE: When adding disks to an array, we recommend
you use the same model of disk with the same capacity.
With the exception of a JBOD, RAIDs are configured to
use the maximum of the smallest disk capacity in the
array for each additional disk in the array. For example,
if you install two, 250 GB disks and one 500 GB disk in a
RAID0 array, the total capacity is only 750 GB.
It takes approximately 1.6GB/min (NSS4000) and
2.6GB/min (NSS6000) to build a RAID5 array.
