- A confirmation message appears asking you if you really want to reset the RAID settings.
Resetting the RAID settings will delete ALL saved in the SVS-5R. When the following window
appears, press the left button to reset the RAID settings.
- When the RAID0+1 mode is successfully configured, the LCD will display the following
message. Connect to a DVR to begin saving data.
4.1.4 RAID5
The SVS-5R supports RAID5. Using RAID5 requires 3 or 4 SATA hard drives.
When configured
to RAID5, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below. RAID5 uses block-level
striping with parity data to save data across all connected SATA hard drives. Thus, data is not
lost even if a hard drive fails. When a SATA hard drive fails, the SVS-5R continues saving data
to the remaining hard drives. To ensure data stability however, it is highly recommended that
you replace a failed hard drive and rebuild the RAID array. In the RAID5 mode, total storage
capacity of the SVS-5R is the capacity of total SATA hard drives subtracted by one drive.
Although RAID5 has decreased data storage capacity, it is most recommended as it is safest
and has larger capacity than RAID0+1.
