3.1 About RAID mode3.1 About RAID mode
RAID10： Security and the promotion of transmission performance are combined into
RAID1 and RAID0, but the use ratio of hard drive is only 50% and higher demand
on data safety is recommended.
CLONE：CLONE consists of at least two drives storing duplicate copies of the same data.
In this mode, the data is simultaneously written to two or more disks. Thus, the
storage capacity of the disk array is limited to the size of the smallest disk.
RAID0 : It has the fastest data read speed but had no protection that all data will be lost
due to one damaged hard drive, which is applicable to temporary storage and
high-speed transmission for data,such as video editing and other scenes.
RAID1 : Data storage is the most safe and not to be worried to lose data even if one hard
drive is damaged. However, the use ratio for hard drive is just 50% ,thus it is

suitable for demanding high-security scenes to store data.
RAID5: With the both consideration of safety and maximum utilization of capacity for the
data storage, only one hard drive is consumed in capacity and it is used most as
RAID mode.
JBOD: JBOD （Just a Bunch of Disks ）excellently bind multiple hard drives with different
capacity hard drive but all data will be lost due to one damaged hard drive , thus
it is not recommended.
Momal: Each hard drive is ejected separately and the data stored hard drive can be more
convenient to directly use.
