What is RAID?– RAID stands for Redundant Array of

Inexpensive (or sometimes "Independent") Disks. RAID is a method of creating one or more pools of data storage space from several hard drives.

– It can offer fault tolerance and higher throughput levels than a single hard drive or group of independent hard drives.

– Supports RAID Level 1* and ensures that data from main HDD (hard disk drive) is mirrored to optional Ultra-slim SelectBay HDD for full data redundancy and protection against accidental data loss

– Data mirroring ensures data availability in event of HDD crash and allows for quick and simple swapping of defective HDD with intact HDD for minimum downtime

* Toshiba RAID support required second HDD
