TerraMaster TRAID+ for TOS 6 NAS OS Offering Higher Level of Data Protection for NAS Users

TerraMaster Technology Co. Ltd. announced the TRAID+ elevating disk array management tool, the upgraded version of TRAID.

With TOS 6 NAS OS, TRAID+ offers an elevated standard of storage security with functions like automatic disk space aggregation, redundancy protection vs. HDD failures, and expansion.

Key features of TRAID+:

Redefining redundancy
TRAID+ inherits TRAID’s features and also breaks new ground in redundancy protection. While traditional TRAID ensures failure redundancy for one hard drive, TRAID+ doubles this safeguard to cover 2 drives, bolstering data security. This enhancement positions TRAID+ as a choice for users prioritizing data integrity.

RAID-6 operational principles
TRAID+’s operational framework mirrors that of RAID-6. It partitions disk space into multiple storage units and utilizes RAID-6 characteristics to amalgamate them into a versatile array configuration.

This approach guarantees data reliability storage efficiency. However, building a TRAID+ array mandates a minimum of 4 disks, and when migrating from TRAID to TRAID+, the added disks must match or exceed the smallest disk in the original TRAID array’s capacity.

How to migrate from TRAID to TRAID+?

• User can migrate from TRAID to TRAID+ by adding more HDDs.
• Note: TRAID can only be migrated to TRAID+ when there are 3 or more HDDs present.
• Procedure: Keep TNAS powered on, insert the new hard drive(s), navigate to Control Panel > Storage Management > Storage Pool > Edit, and select ‘Migrate.’
• Ensure that the newly added hard drive(s) meet the requirements.

Meet elevated data security demands
Given TRAID+’s requirement for a minimum of 4 disks, with 2 dedicated to redundancy, users must accept a trade-off between storage space and enhanced data security. As such, TRAID+ caters more to professional or commercial users with stringent data security needs and the financial means to support it. For these users, investing in TRAID+ promises returns in data protection and peace of mind.

Integration of F4-424 Pro and TRAID+ in TOS 6
The company’s 4-bay NAS F4-424 Pro supports TRAID+ elevating disk array management tool and the latest TOS 6 NAS OS, providing higher-level data security protection.

Due to the powerful hardware configuration and performance with TOS 6, F4-424 Pro meets the stringent requirements of data storage, which makes this combination become a choice of professionals and business users.
