3.7.7 Spare Drive Management If you have an unassigned physical drive, you can assign it as a spare drive. A spare drive is a physical drive designated to replace a failed physical drive in a RAID Volume. Spare drive support depends on which NAS model you have. DNS-1250-04 supports up to four physical drives. In the event of the failure of a physical drive within a RAID 1 or three-drive RAID 1E, or RAID 5 Volume, the spare drive is activated to replace the failed physical drive. A spare drive is not available for a RAID 10 Volume because RAID 10 requires all four physical drives. DNS-1250-06 supports up to six physical drives. In the event of the failure of a physical drive within any Volume except RAID 0 and RAID 6, the spare drive is activated to replace the failed physical drive. A spare drive is not available for a RAID 6 Volume because RAID 6 requires all six physical drives. Spare Drive Information To view spare drive information: 1. Click the Storage tab. 2.
