Overview: The standard configuration for a NAS 6000 base unit includes two user volumes, each supporting up to 960GB of raw storage capacity for a total of 1.9TB. In a RAID 5 configuration, the usable capacity is 723 GB on the first volume and 768 GB on the second. This document describes the optimal way to reconfigure this user space into a single 1.5 TB user volume (base unit only), or up to a 4.43 TB user volume on a fully configured MaxAttach NAS 6000 (base unit plus two expansion units).
The NAS 6000 base unit contains twelve 160GB hard disks. This…

Overview:
This Knowledge Base article describes a specific RAID reconfiguration; it describes how to re-configure the arrays using a Mylex Spanning feature to create a single 1.45 TB user volume spanned across Arrays 0 and 1 without a performance reduction. This procedure is data destructive for both user volumes. This procedure does not require the use of any special service tools. This procedure does not require system downtime, but the performance of the system will be affected significantly for about 10 minutes. System performance will also be slightly reduced for about 30 hours during the “background” creation of the redundant data…
What is Seagate BlackArmor and how does it differ from Maxtor BlackArmor?
The name BlackArmor was first introduced in 2008 as a portable Full Disc Encryption drive, however, at that time it was termed the Maxtor BlackArmor. Now we are extending the use of that product name under the Seagate brand. Seagate BlackArmor is now the family name for a suite of storage solutions packaged for small business. The Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440 and Seagate BlackArmor NAS 420 network storage servers are just the first two solutions in what will be a complete lineup of BlackArmor products, to include 4 Bay,…
When you connect a WD external drive to your Mac computer, and you have the WD Drive Manager installed on it, a little blue WD icon appears in the upper right corner of your desktop. Depending on the status of your drive, or dual RAID drive, the WD icon will do different things.
- The WD icon is also the way that you access the drive’s status, or as in this case, the drive’s RAID status. When the RAID is healthy, you will see the blue WD icon. Clicking on the WD icon opens a short menu that leads to launching the RAID Manager. From there, you…
