6.2 Running the Setup Wizard

Upon first login, a setup wizard will guide you through essential configurations:

• Disk Volume Creation: You will be prompted to create a disk volume. Options typically include:
  • стандартны: Each drive is treated as a separate volume.
  • RAID 0 (чаргаванне): Combines drives for maximum capacity and performance, but offers no data redundancy. If one drive fails, all data is lost.
  • RAID 1 (люстраванне): Mirrors data across both drives, providing data redundancy. If one drive fails, data is preserved on the other. Capacity is limited to the size of one drive.
  • JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks): Combines drives into a single large volume sequentially. No performance or redundancy benefits.

  Choose RAID 1 for data protection. RAID 0 offers speed but no protection.
