Then ask us give the unit a name and a letter that we are going to create. He also asks us to let's select the type of resistance What are you going to have. To this end we have several options available. We can select between No resistance, Simple, Double reflection, Triple reflection or Parity. Choose the one you want or the one that suits you best. At the same time, we also have to write down the maximum storage size that this unit can achieve. What does each of these resistance options mean?

• No resistance: It allows us an increase in performance even when it does not allow us to protect files in case of failure
• Reflex resistance: It offers us protection. At the same time, the more mirrors, the more copies are made for file protection.
• Triple reflection: You are going to make two copies of the files. At the same time, it also has the ability to tolerate errors in two drives. Therefore, it is a fairly safe and reliable alternative.
• Parity: Designed to increase storage efficiency. At the same time, it offers protection in case of errors, but it is necessary to have at least three units connected. In this way, it is a good option if you have a large volume of data to save.

Once we have entered this information, we can now create the storage space.

We look for the unit we want to remove, we select the option to remove and wait for the procedure to be completed.
