HDD CAPACITY

Q: I would like to format my hard drives with the FAT (a.k.a. File Allocation Table)

format, which can be read and written by both Mac and PC. Is there any limitation on its

capacity?

A: Yes, please check the table below for reference.

File System NTFS FAT32 FAT (Format by

Win2000 / WinXP)

FAT16

Capacity

Vista: 16384TB

XP: 2TB

Windows: 32GB

Mac: 2TB

DISCREPANCY IN REPORTED & ACTUAL SIZE CAPACITY

Q: If I have a 750GB HDD, why does the RAID Unit only recognized the HDD available

space as to be less than 750GB?

A: In the hard drive industry the partitioned size will be less than the printed capacity on

the label. This is consistent whether it is Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung, etc. For

example, a 1TB hard drive will have a formatted capacity of approximately 932GB. This

is due to the fact that computers calculate capacity based on 1024 bytes/kilobyte, while

the hard drive calculation is based on 1000 instead of 1024. Hard drive manufacturers

define a megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes and a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, which is

a decimal (base 10) measurement. Computers define a megabyte as 1,048,576 bytes

and a gigabyte as 1,073,741,824 bytes. These are binary (base 2) measurements. This

is why the two different industries will report different capacities for the same drive. The

number of bytes is the same, but a different number of bytes is used to make a

megabyte and a gigabyte.

REBUILD

Q: Does the RAID Unit have to be connected to the host computer when it is in rebuild

mode?

A: No, it does not have to be. The RAID Unit can support offline rebuild, which means it

can perform the rebuild function without being connected to a host computer.

RAID MASTER: CONNECTION RESTRICTION

Q: Is there any connection restrictions for the RAID MASTER?

A: Yes, the RAID MASTER can only be operated via USB 2.0 or FireWire 800. If you

choose to use eSATA for data transferring, please set up the RAID configuration via

USB or FireWire first.
