GR5630-WSB3 External RAID system for 4x 3.5" SATA HDDs, RAID 5
Self-Starting
RAID 5 is preset. As soon as you have put in the HDDs the RAID starts. You may not set up the RAID. RAID 5 means, one HDD is used to secure the data stored on the other HDDs. In the case of a failure of one HDD you only have to replace this one and the RAID restores the lost data.
