Storage Pool

One or more drives can be aggregated into a single storage unit called a storage pool, which can be protected by RAID. Different RAID types offer different levels of data protection. For a general list of RAID types supported by your DiskStation, please refer to General. After a storage pool has been created, you can create one or multiple volumes on it. A volume is a unit of data storage and may be expanded if the associated storage pool contains allocatable space. At least one volume must be created before you can start storing data on your DiskStation.
