One RG (RAID group) consists of a set of VDs (Virtual Disk) and owns one RAID level attribute. Each RG can be divided into several VDs. The VDs in one RG share the same RAID level, but may have different volume capacity. All VDs share the CV (Cache Volume) to execute the data transaction. LUN (Logical Unit Number) is a unique identifier, in which users can access through SCSI commands.

hard drives.
RAID 50
Striping over the member RAID 5 volumes. RAID 50 needs at least six
hard drives.

Volume relationship
The below graphic is the volume structure which
D-LINK
has designed. It describes the
relationship of RAID components. One RG (RAID group) consists of a set of VDs (Virtual
Disk) and owns one RAID level attribute. Each RG can be divided into several VDs. The
VDs in one RG share the same RAID level, but may have different volume capacity. All
VDs share the CV (Cache Volume) to execute the data transaction. LUN (Logical Unit
Number) is a unique identifier, in which users can access through SCSI commands.
