Spanning concatenates multiple hard drives
as a single large volume; resulting in a seamless
expansion of virtual volumes beyond
the physical limitations of separately connected
hard drives. The data are written from HDD1 to HDD8.

Distributed parity requires all drives but one to be present to operate;
drive failure requires replacement, but the array is not destroyed
by a single drive failure.
Upon drive failure, any subsequent reads can be calculated
from the distributed parity such that the drive failure is masked
from the end user.0 The array will have data loss in the event
of a second drive failure and is vulnerable until
the data that was on the failed drive is rebuilt onto a replacement drive.
Note: The computer will detect 2 drives.

Striping is a method of concatenating multiple hard drives
into one logical storage unit.
It is the automated process of writing data across
multiple drives simultaneously.
Striping is used to increase the performance of disk reads.
The multiple hard drives will write data in “column” effect.
If one drive in a striped set fails, all of the data
in the stripe set is lost.
Note: The computer will detect 1 drive.

RAID 50 combines multiple RAID 5 arrays with RAID 0 Striping
RAID 50 offers highest level of redundancy and performance
RAID 50 can sustain one to four drive failures while maintaining data
integrity if each failed disk is in a different RAID 5 array.
In RAID 50, the total addressable volume is 2 times the smallest layer
of RAID 5 array RAID 50 requires at least 6 Hard drives.
Note: The computer will detect 1 drive.

Windows Vista (32 / 64 bit) / Windows 7 (32 / 64 bit)
If the HDD is uninitialized, you may have to initialize
it by doing steps as followed:
At first click “Start”, “Execute” at your PC
and key in “diskmgmt.msc”.
After that please press “Enter” key.
Windows Vista (32 / 64 bit) / Windows 7 (32 / 64 bit)
Activate MBR if total volume is less than 2TB
Note: Please enable GPT if the total capacity is more than 2TB and enable MBR if the
total capacity is less than 2TB.
Start disk initialization.

Under Windows Vista (32/64-bit), if the total capacity is more than 16TB,
it's strongly recommend to choose “Allocation unit size” at 8192
when formatting the HDD.
