Power Management
HDD Hibernation
Enable or Disable power management.
If the hard drive does not hibernate after the hibernation time you have set has passed, please make sure that:
1. BitTorrent is disabled and/or all download seeds are stopped.
2. There is no read/write access to the UPnP AV or iTunes server.
3. No one is using the easy search utility to discover the DNS-323 or mapping/disconnecting a drive.
Turn Off Hard Drives
Select the amount of time before the hard drives will shut down. Remember that the device will stay powered on. Only the hard drives will lose power. They will re-gain power immediately after attempting to access them.
Fan Control
The speed of the fan can be controlled from this section. There are 3 fan control options to choose from:
1. Auto (Off/Low/High)
2. Auto (Low/High)
3. Manual (Always On High)
If using "Auto" mode, the speed of the fan will change (Off/Low/High) depending on the internal temperature of the enclosure.
Power Recovery
Enable or disable Power Recovery. The Power Recovery feature will automatically restart your device from a previously unexpected shutdown due to a power failure.
Click 'Save Settings' when finished.

Raid
Choose from four different hard drive configurations in this section. Begin by pressing the 'Set RAID Type and Re-Format' button. Note that all data will be lost during this process.
Standard
Creates two separate volumes (or one volume if only one hard drive is present). Each hard drive is its own volume.
JBOD (Linear)
Combines both hard drives in a linear fashion which will create one large volume geared towards maximum available space.
RAID 0
Combines both hard drives in a striped fashion which will create one large volume geared towards maximum performance.
RAID 1
Mirrors the hard drives for redundancy. If one hard drive fails, the other still has all of the data. Replace the failed hard drive and it will re-mirror, restoring maximum data protection.
Create A New Volume From The Remaining Available Storage Space
This section will allow you to setup a RAID configuration from the remaining available storage space on the selected hard drives. Please note that the data stored on the drives will be erased during the formatting process.
Enable Auto-Rebuild
Auto-Rebuild allows a degraded RAID 1 array to be automatically rebuilt when the failed hard drive is replaced by automatically restoring data from the existing hard drive to the newly inserted hard drive.
Disable Auto-Rebuild
A rebuild is ONLY performed when triggering by user.
