5. Data Protection and RAID
The LinkStation 220 is designed to keep your data safe. It features a closed system to reduce vulnerabilities from third-party applications and uses SSL encryption for secure file 이전.
5.1 RAID 구성
The 12TB LinkStation 220 ships in RAID 1 configuration, providing automatic data mirroring for redundancy and a usable capacity of 6TB. You can reconfigure it to RAID 0 to utilize the full 12TB capacity, though this will remove data redundancy.
- RAID 1(미러링): Data is written identically to both hard drives. If one drive fails, your data is still accessible from the other drive. This provides data protection at the cost of half the total storage capacity.
- RAID 0 (스트라이핑): Data is split and written across both hard drives. This maximizes storage capacity and can improve performance but offers no data redundancy. If one drive fails, all data is lost.

6. 유지관리
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LinkStation 220.
- 펌웨어 업데이트: Periodically check the BUFFALO support website for firmware updates. Keeping your firmware current ensures the latest features, security patches, and performance improvements.
- Data Backup Strategy: While RAID 1 provides redundancy, it is not a substitute for a comprehensive backup strategy. Regularly back up critical data from your LinkStation to another external drive or cloud service.
- 물리적 환경: Ensure the LinkStation is placed in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust.
- 청결: 기기 외부를 부드럽고 마른 천으로 살살 닦아주세요. 액체 세척제나 스프레이형 세정제는 사용하지 마세요.
- 전원 관리 : Utilize the power management schedule features to power down the device during off-peak hours to conserve energy and extend component life.
