Chapter 4: Storage & Virtualization Chapter 4: Storage & Virtualization 4.1 Storage Manager Storage Manager allows you to organize the storage units on your Synology NAS, monitor overall storage use, and inspect the health of all your drives. Key Terms: Before using Storage Manager, it can help to familiarize yourself with the following terms: • Storage Pool: • Combine one or more drives into a single storage unit called a storage pool. A storage pool can be configured to be protected by a data storage technology known as Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID). • RAID: • RAID is a data storage technology that aggregates multiple physical drives into one or more logical units for improved fault tolerance, performance, and storage capacity. • Supported RAID types vary according to your Synology NAS model. For details, refer to this article and the product specs of your Synology NAS. • Volume: • Volumes are created on top of storage pools and provide the basic storage space on your Synology NAS. All of your shared folders, documents, and package data will be stored here. 32
