QUESTIONS & ANSWERS CONCERNING RAID SYSTEMS

Selecting the Proper RAID Mode

Q: How do I choose the proper RAID mode for my Arcticroc 4-Bay RAID System?

A: The Arcticroc 4-Bay RAID is a “Mass Storage” device, which means its capacity is sufficient

for data management. The different RAID mode settings can help you administer the enormous

data storage from the HDDs. It is highly recommended to choose the RAID mode based on one

of three factors that is essential to complete your task. The three most common factors are

size, capacity, speed and data protection. For example, if using the Arcticroc to simply watch

films for enjoyment, the RAID 0 mode is perfect because it can maintain decent speed and still

have a large storage capacity.

HDD Capacity

Q: All my HDDs are at least 1 TB or above. Will the RAID be able to support the gigantic storage

capacity?

A: Yes, the Arcticroc 4-Bay RAID will be able to support any HDDs over 1 TB size capacity.

However, older host systems cannot support over 2TB of total capacity. Newer systems such as

the Mac OS 10.3 and newer, and PC Windows Vista or newer can handle HDDs over 1 TB. In

addition, based on the host system you have, there may be limitations on the port connections

when the storage size is over 2TB. Please see the chart below.
