Section 3 - Installation Hard Drive Configuration The next part of the setup wizard helps you to configure your hard drive storage. The DNS-340L offers four options for hard drive storage configuration. You should choose the option which best suits your storage, redundancy, and backup needs. The RAID Configuration window provides more detailed Physical Disk information. Here you can analyze your Disk, Vendor, Model number, Serial number, and Disk size. Under Select RAID Type, there are four options to choose from: yy Standard (default) - This option creates one or more volumes on each hard drive which are inserted into the NAS. Each hard drive will have its own volume. Please skip to "Standard RAID" on page 35 to continue the setup process using this option. yy JBOD - This option combines the two hard drives into one or more volumes, but does not use a RAID configuration. Please skip to "JBOD" on page 38 to continue the setup process using this option. yy RAID 0 - This option splits data evenly across the two drives to create one array. The size of the array will be limited to twice the size of the smallest hard drive in use. Please skip to "RAID 0" on page 41 to continue the setup process using this option. yy RAID 1 - This option uses one hard drive for storage, and the other hard drive to create a mirror of the first drive for redundancy. If the first hard drive fails, the second hard drive will serve as the primary storage drive until the failed drive is replaced. Please skip to "RAID 1" on page 44 to continue the setup process using this option. D-Link ShareCenter DNS-340L User Manual 33
