3. Instruccions de funcionament
RAID Mode Configuration
The MAIWO docking station supports four RAID modes: RAID 0, RAID 1, LARGE (JBOD), and NORMAL (PM). You can configure these modes using the RAID Setting switches and the RAID Transfer Button on the rear panel.
IMPORTANT: Please back up all important data before changing RAID modes. Changing RAID modes will erase all data on the hard drives. For new drives, initialize and format them after setting the RAID mode.
| Mode RAID | Especificació de la funció | Interruptor 1 | Interruptor 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RAID 0 | Theoretical rate is twice that of a single disk, making reading and writing faster and more efficient. (Striping) | ON | ON |
| RAID 1 | Double disk guard backup, stores important data after damage to one disk, data will not be lost. (Mirroring) | OFF | ON |
| LARGE (JBOD) | Combined capacity is equal to the actual capacity of two hard disks, creating large-capacity storage space. (Concatenation) | ON | OFF |
| Normal (PM) | Two hard disks work independently, not affecting each other, making data storage simpler and more convenient. (Port Multiplier) | OFF | OFF |
To change RAID mode: Set the switches according to the table, then press and hold the RAID Transfer Button for 3-5 seconds until the RAID LED Adapter changes, indicating the new mode is active.
Transferència de dades
The docking station utilizes a USB 3.0 Type-A interface, offering high-speed data transmission up to 5Gbps. It supports UASP protocol for enhanced performance on Windows 8.1 and above operating systems.
Funció de son automàtica
To conserve energy and extend hard drive lifespan, the docking station features an automatic sleep design. If there is no action within 3 minutes, the device will enter sleep mode. It will automatically wake up upon activity.
4. Manteniment
Sistema de refrigeració
The docking station is equipped with a powerful built-in cooling fan and a full aluminum body to ensure efficient heat dissipation, preventing your hard drives from overheating and maintaining optimal performance.
Protecció Física
The enclosure features a unique drop-resistant design. The bottom bracket is equipped with four circular wear-resistant, non-slip silicone pads, and both sides have shockproof pads to protect the hard disk box from scratches and impacts during handling and operation.
