What RAID modes are supported and how do I choose one?
The LinkStation 441 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and JBOD. During initial setup via the web interface, you can select a RAID mode based on your need for performance (RAID 0) or redundancy (RAID 5/6). Note that changing RAID mode erases all data.
