RAID Settings Descriptions

SINGLE MODE Array will show up as two independent drives. This function

can be used if only if two different brands and/or capacities

of HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) are installed.

SPANNING MODE Two HDDs will show up as a single drive with the combined

capacity of both drives. Spanning writes data sequentially

across two drives.

RAID 0 (Striping) Two HDDs will show up as a single drive with the combined

capacity of both drives. Speed and performance increase.

The two HDDs “stripe" data across the two drives. This splits

each piece of Data across both HDDs in segments in a way

that speeds up reading and writing times. However, RAID 0

does not offer any data protection: if one drive fails or is

damaged, all data can be lost.

RAID 1 (Mirroring) The RAID controller creates an extra copy (or mirror) of data

on the two drives. Only a single drive will show up on your

computer, and it will have the capacity of a single drive.

Data is protected from the failure of one drive. If one drive

fails, replace it with an identical drive and the data rebuilds

automatically.

Using this mode requires 2 identical HDDs; the two drives

must be the same capacity, brand and model number.

Changing RAID Settings

1. Start your computer and wait for your operating system to load completely.

2. Connect the appropriate end of the USB / FireWire cable to your CADA-C32 disk

array. Connect the other end of the USB / FireWire cable to your computer.

3. Connect the power cable to your CADA-C32 disk array. Connect the other end of the

power cable to an electrical outlet.

4. Turn on the drive.

5. You will need to uninitialize the drive before changing RAID settings. To do this,

follow the instructions for your Operating System below. (Mac OSX users, see
