Working With Raid Arrays; Using Jbod - Buffalo TeraStation 1000 User Manual

RAID 1
Combines 2 drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical
data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long
as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered.
RAID 0
Combines 2 or more hard drives into a single array. The usable disk space is the total space of all drives used. This
simple RAID mode offers faster performance than RAID modes that include parity. If a single drive in the array fails,
then all data in the array is lost.
JBOD
This mode uses the hard drives inside the TeraStation as individual drives. The disk space you can use is the total
capacity of both drives in the TeraStation. If either drive is damaged, then the data on that drive is lost.
*Available for TS1400D.

In Settings, click Drives.
2
Click to the right of "RAID".
3
Click the array to delete.
4
Click Delete RAID Array.

The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK.
Once JBOD is configured, create shared folders on each drive to use them.
