RAID level 5 requires a minimum of 3 drives to implement.
When using the RAID function, logical disk size of the
extension unit will be as below.
Logical disk size = Smallest size of the disk among the
disks in the extension unit x (Number of the disks in the
extension unit - 1)
Important:
•When connecting two extension units or more with this
unit, it is impossible to connect the extension unit with
the RAID 5 function and the one without the RAID 5
function at the same time.
•When the RAID 5 function is used, it is impossible to
use two hard disks in this unit. The recorded pictures in
those disks will not be deleted.
