The Snap Server 4100
makes it simple to add 480GB of RAID 5 storage quickly, easily, and
cost-effectively. In just 5 minutes, workgroups or departments that are
experiencing rapid data growth can deploy additional storage and keep users
satisfied. Efficient hardware design and the maturity of the embedded SnapOS
software make this an extremely reliable and robust solution that can easily
support a department of 150 users. And, the Snap Server 4100 comes at a
fraction of the capital and maintenance expenses of a complex
general-purpose server.

File System Options
RAID 5 + Hot Spare: (disk striping with parity) The size
of one disk is reserved for parity checking. Three drives are in RAID 5, one
is reserved and available to begin rebuilding in case of failure.
RAID 5 (disk striping with parity): The size of one disk
is reserved for parity checking.With four drives, yields 357 GB usable
capacity (shipping default)
RAID 1 (disk mirroring): Drives are duplicated for
maximum data protection (50% usable capacity)
RAID 0 (disk striping): Large, virtual drive with data
striped across all drives of the array; no loss in usable capacity
Individual Independent Disks: Four separate drives, each
seen as a separate volume (JBOD)
OS can be booted from any drive
