10.2 Disk Array
A disk array is a data storage virtualizaon technology that combines mulple physical disk drives
into a single logical unit. Also known as a "RAID", an array stores data over
mulple HDDs to
provide enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed
across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", based the redundancy and
performance required.
Note
The funcons in this secon are only available for certain models.
10.2.1 Create a Disk Array
The video recorder supports soware-based disk arrays. Enable the RAID funcon as required, and
ensure each HDD capacity is not less than 4 TB. Two ways are available for creang an array: one-
touch conguraon and manual conguraon.
One-Touch

conguraon is RAID 5.
Before You Start
Install at least 3 HDDs. If more than 10 HDDs are installed, 2 arrays will be created. To maintain
reliability and stability running of the HDDs, it is recommended to use of enterprise-level HDDs of
the same model and capacity.
