TRAID-灵活磁盘阵列管理工具

对于熟悉NAS设备的群体来说，在数据保护方面，首先想到的可能是设置RAID。事实上，RAID技术为数据保护做出了突出贡献，其在人们心目中的地位难以动摇。然而，随着人们对RAID的实用性和灵活性的要求越来越高，传统RAID的局限性逐渐显现出来，例如：对于初学者来说，如何准确选择合适的RAID模式？如何最大限度地减少硬盘空间的浪费等。？

什么是traid?

在新的TOS 5操作系统中，TerraMaster为用户提供了一种新开发的灵活磁盘阵列管理工具TRAID（TerraMaster RAID），该工具具有磁盘空间自动组合、硬盘故障冗余保护和自动容量扩展等功能。所有这些功能配置将根据硬盘的属性自动完成，而不是由用户手动配置。

TRAID为用户提供了一个优化的、灵活的、有弹性的磁盘阵列管理解决方案，特别适合不熟悉如何配置磁盘阵列的新用户。同时，它大大提高了硬盘空间的利用率，解决了浪费硬盘空间的严重问题。TRAID是如何工作的？TRIAD的优点是什么？

traid是如何工作的？

TerraMaster使用Linux磁盘管理工具将不同容量的硬盘空间巧妙地划分为更小的分区，然后结合冗余策略重新组合分区。一旦TRAID形成，用户仍然可以根据需要更换更大容量的硬盘或添加更多硬盘来扩展阵列的存储空间。与传统阵列相比，除了冗余保护外，TRAID还可以显著提高磁盘空间的利用率。同时，与传统阵列相比，TRAID阵列在扩展容量时具有更高的效率。

更高的磁盘空间利用率

在数字时代，我们的数据量正在迅速增长，硬盘的容量也在以每3年几乎翻一番的速度快速增长。当我们购买大容量硬盘时，我们也希望旧硬盘能够继续发挥作用，但传统的阵列模式无法满足这一需求。TerraMaster TRAID阵列很好地解决了这个问题。通过TRAID灵活的管理策略，您可以不断向阵列中添加硬盘以扩展存储容量，即使硬盘容量差异很大。

假设您需要组合1TB、2TB、4TB、8TB、10TB 5个不同容量的硬盘驱动器，以形成具有冗余保护的磁盘阵列。在传统RAID模式（RAID 5）下，您只能获得5TB的可用空间。通过TRAID的弹性策略，您可以获得23TB的可用空间。

如何扩大traid的存储空间？

TRAID形成后，您可以通过以下两种方法扩展存储空间。

1.更换容量更大的硬盘
注意：一次只能更换一个硬盘，并确保新添加的硬盘符合要求。
操作方法：保持TNAS通电，卸下其中一个驱动器，插入更大容量的驱动器，转到控制面板>存储管理>存储池>编辑，然后选择“修复”。阵列修复后，使用相同的方法更换其他硬盘驱动器。

2. 增加硬盘数量
操作方法：保持TNAS通电，插入新硬盘，转到控制面板>存储管理>存储池>编辑，然后选择“展开”。确保新添加的硬盘符合要求，并且您有足够的备用磁盘插槽。
