2 Introduction to RAID

A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is an array of multiple hard drives that are combined

in a way that provides faster performance and/or data safety. Your RTX unit is capable of creating and

managing several different varieties of RAID. You may choose your preferred RAID level based on factors

such as disk capacity, desired data safety, and desired performance.

2.1 Summary of RAID Levels

The RTX430-3QR enclosure supports RAID Levels 0, 1, 5, and 10. RAID Level 5 is most commonly

used by those seeking an optimal balance of speed and data safety.

Also known as striping. Data is distributed across multiple drives in

Also known as mirroring. All data is replicated on two separate

disks. This is a high-availability solution, but due to the 100%

duplication, only half the total disk capacity is available for data

Also known as Block-Interleaved Distributed Parity. Data and par-

ity information is subdivided and distributed across all disks. Can

** The RAID level becomes available as a menu option when exactly these numbers of hard drives are installed inside of the RTX enclosure.

**If both drives in either the RAID 0 or RAID 1 set fail, then the entire RAID will fail. If only one drive in each of the RAID 0 and RAID 1 sets

fail, then the RAID is preserved.

2.2 Hot Spares (Host Standby)

Hot spares are drives connected as part of your RAID and are switched into operation when a drive

fails. RAID 5 will support hot spares when configured with three hard drives (displayed as a "RAID5

3d" on the LCD Display). When a drive fails, the RTX enclosure will immediately rebuild the RAID.

After that a new drive will need to be inserted in place of the failed one. Replacement drives should

preferably be the same model and capacity as the other drives in the RAID.

3 Setup Steps

3.1 Drive Installation

Pull the ejection handle on the TrayFree bay to open the bay door.

Insert a SATA hard drive into the bay. Make sure it is label-side up with the SATA connection on

the drive inserted first toward the rear of the enclosure.

Shut the bay door and repeat these steps for as many bays as you have hard drives for.
