4.1.1 RAID0  
The SVS-5R supports RAID0. Using RAID0 requires 2 or 4 SATA hard drives. When configured  
to RAID0 with 2 or 4 SATA hard drives, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below.  
RAID0 saves data across all connected hard drives and storage; it has the fastest speed and  
uses the hard drives to full capacity.  
Caution: RAID0 has no fault tolerance; entire data of the SVS-5R is lost if even one SATA  
hard drive fails. RAID0 is not recommended for saving crucial data.

4.1.2 RAID1  
SVS-5R supports the RAID1. Using RAID1 requires 2 SATA hard drives; HDD#3 and HDD#4  
are not used. When configured to RAID1, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below.  
In the RAID1 mode, each of the two hard drives stores identical data. Thus, data is not lost even  
if either SATA hard drive fails. When a SATA hard drive fails, the SVS-5R continues saving data  
to the other hard drive. To ensure data stability however, it is highly recommended that you  
replace the failed hard drive and rebuild the RAID array. In the RAID1 mode, total storage  
capacity of the SVS-5R is simply the capacity of one drive; please check total storage capacity  
of the SVS-5R before configuring it to RAID1.

4.1.3 RAID0+1  
The SVS-5R supports RAID0+1. Using RAID0+1 requires 4 SATA hard drives. When  
configured to RAID0+1, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below. RAID0+1 uses  
both striping (RAID0) and mirroring (RAID1); it will store identical data to 2 RAID0 disk arrays.  
Thus, data is not lost even if a SATA hard drive or either disk array should fail. When a SATA  
hard drive or a disk array fails, the SVS-5R continues saving data to the other RAID0 disk array.  
To ensure data stability, however, it is highly recommended that you replace a failed hard drive  
and rebuild the RAID array. In the RAID0+1 mode, total storage capacity of the SVS-5R is  
simply the capacity of 2 drives; please check total storage capacity of the SVS-5R before  
configuring it to RAID0+1. The following describes possible instances when 2 SATA hard drives  
simultaneously fail during the RAID0+1 mode.  
e.g.) HDD#1, HDD#2 fail Æ Rebuilding Can be rebuilt  
HDD#1, HDD#3 fail Æ Halt, Entire data is lost  
HDD#1, HDD#4 fail Æ Can be rebuilt  
HDD#2, HDD#3 fail Æ Can be rebuilt

4.1.4 RAID5  
The SVS-5R supports RAID5. Using RAID5 requires 3 or 4 SATA hard drives. When configured  
to RAID5, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below. RAID5 uses block-level  
striping with parity data to save data across all connected SATA hard drives. Thus, data is not  
lost even if a hard drive fails. When a SATA hard drive fails, the SVS-5R continues saving data  
to the remaining hard drives. To ensure data stability however, it is highly recommended that  
you replace a failed hard drive and rebuild the RAID array. In the RAID5 mode, total storage  
capacity of the SVS-5R is the capacity of total SATA hard drives subtracted by one drive.  
Although RAID5 has decreased data storage capacity, it is most recommended as it is safest  
and has larger capacity than RAID0+1.

4.1.5 RAID5+Hotstandby  
SVS-5R supports RAID5+Hotstandby. Using RAID5+Hotstandby requires 4 SATA hard drives.  
When configured to RAID5+Hotstandby, the SVS-5R saves data as shown in the picture below.  
RAID5+Hotstandby uses 3 SATA hard drives in the RAID5 mode, while putting on the last drive  
on standby.  
Caution: In the RAID5+Hotstandby mode, HDD#4 in the SVS-5R is put on standby.  
When a SATA hard drive in the RAID5 mode fails, the standby drive replaces the failed drive to  
rebuild the RAID array and allow the SVS-5R to continue saving data. To ensure data stability  
however, it is highly recommended that you replace the failed hard drive immediately. In the  
RAID5+Hotstandby mode, total storage capacity of the SVS-5R is simply the capacity of 2  
drives. It is more stable than RAID5, but has decreased storage capacity; please consider the  
storage capacity before using this mode.

4.2 RAID Rebuilding  
When the SVS-5R is in the RAID rebuilding process and its connected DVR is in the Half  
D1 or D1 mode, activating the playback option may cause skipping frames. This skipping  
frame issue is simply caused by the RAID rebuilding process; once it is complete, the  
screen will no longer skip frames and no data is damaged.  
4.2.1 RAID0  
In the RAID0 mode, ALL data saved in the SVS-5R is lost if only ONE of the connected SATA  
hard drives fails.  
Caution: RAID0 does not offer the rebuilding option; you must replace a failed hard drive  
and reinitialize a RAID mode.  
-During the RAID0 mode when one of connected SATA hard drives fails, the front LCD of the  
SVS-5R displays the following message notifying you of the loss of ALL data.
