Hardware Requirements And Precautions; Hardware Installation - Stardom ST2 Serie Manual De Usuario

3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions

1. Whether under RAID 0 or RAID 1 mode, both hard drives of ST2 must be installed into the
system for the device to work properly.
2. Only one interface connection of ST2 may be used at a time per computer system.
3. For the best performance and stability of the system, it's strongly recommended that you install
two hard drives of the same capacity, model and manufacturer as top priority. And if necessary,
please also replace faulty hard drives with those of the same model, capacity and manufacturer.
If the same model of HDD is unavailable, please replace it with a model of 20GB or larger in
capacity.
4. Under RAID 1 and RAID 0 mode, please do not install hard drives containing important data to
ST2 series. Data in hard drives would be erased in system initialization. New hard drives are
recommended to be installed.
5. The available storage capacity of ST2 identified by the computer may differ from the stated
storage capacity once the drives in the system have been installed and formatted.
6. To turn off or remove ST2, always safely dismount the volume from the operating system before
removing ST2 from host computer.
7. Do not remove the hard drive(s) while the system is powered on. Always remember to power off
the unit prior to removing the hard drives.
8. Under RAID 1 mode, only 1 hard disk failure is permitted. Therefore, when you find two hard
drives failed under RAID 1 mode, or single hard disk failure under RAID 0 mode, data you
previously stored might have been corrupted or lost. Please seek for help from data recovery
services.
9. It is highly recommended that users back up important data to a storage device other than ST2
itself, and/or a remote backup site. STARDOM will not be responsible for any corruption or loss
of data.
10. The default setting of ST2 is RAID 1 mode. Users are suggested to set it according to your
usage. For data protection, please set it to RAID 1 mode. For storage capacity needs, please
set it to RAID 0 mode. Data in hard drives would be corrupted due to the resetting after use.
