One-Touch Creation

One-touch configuration creates the disk array. By default, the array type created by one-touch configuration is RAID 5.

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.

  1. Go to Storage > Advanced.
  2. Check Enable RAID.
  3. Click Apply and reboot the device to have settings take effect.
  4. After reboot, go to Storage > RAID Setup > Physical Disk.
  5. Click One-touch Config.
  6. Edit Array Name and click OK to start configuring.
    Note:

    If you install 4 or more HDDs, a hot spare disk for array rebuilding will be created.

  7. Optional: The video recorder will automatically initialize the created array. Go to Storage > RAID Setup > Array to view the information of the created array.
