It is officially compatible for direct expansion only with QNAP NAS models. For other uses, it works as USB DAS with PC, Mac or Linux. Can hard drives and SSDs be mixed in the same RAID? No, each RAID group must contain drives of the same type (HDD or SSD); mixing within a group is not supported. How is RAID mode configured? Select hardware RAID using the rear DIP switches or manage it through software on the QNAP NAS or QNAP External RAID Manager on PC. What happens if a drive fails? In RAID 1, 5 or 10 configurations, the system protects data and lets you hot-swap the faulty drive without losing information, ensuring continuity and security.
