Install Hard Drives Once you intall a hard drive on the NSA and create a volume, all existing data on the disk will be erased. If you want to install two hard drives and configure them as RAID volumes (see page 15), it is recommended to use the same disk size and model for best performance. Hard drives are NOT hot swappable. The NSA must be turned off before you remove or install hard drive(s). Creating a volume formats the hard drives. All data will be lost. Back up any files on the di

3. If you have two hard disks installed, select a disk configuration. • JBOD (maximum data storage space) Uses the whole storage capacity of each disk, even if there are two hard disks with different storage capacities. With two hard disks, you can create two volumes (one for each disk) so a failure of one hard disk should not affect the other.
