We decided to set up a RAID 5 configuration on our test machine, which cut our 1 TB of raw data capacity by 25% to 750 GB. We also configured a single 120 GB backup user account. Disk management overhead (directory structures, etc.), left 612 GB of usable network storage and 138 GB of backup space. By the way, it took the SS4000 NAS about 14 hours (!) to initialize this configuration, but the system fortunately remained available for use during initialization.
An overview of available NAS storage capacity and its partitioning.
Individual settings are easy to enter through the device's Web interface; it doesn't take much time to create new directories, users and user groups. You can also endow individual users or groups with specific disk allocations. You'll also find an FTP server at your disposal, where logins are controlled by related Windows access rights and permission. It's not possible to bind this device to Active Directory on a Windows Server, however, to establish more complex and comprehensive access controls and policy settings.
Defined folders and users, with associated access controls, may be viewed here.
