TerraMaster TRAID is a new RAID management tool that optimizes traditional RAID modes. Launched as a counterpart of the Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) TRAID gives users flexible disk array configuration, capacity expansion, and redundancy policies in TOS 5.
The tech is based on dividing the disk into parts and then putting different RAID configurations on each partition and not the bare disk
TerraMaster, a professional brand that specializes in providing innovative storage products for home, businesses and enterprises, highlights the release of the TerraMaster Flexible Disk Array (TRAID) as one of the key features of the newly released TerraMaster TOS 5 operating system. The TerraMaster TRAID is a new RAID management tool that optimizes traditional RAID modes. Launched as a counterpart of the Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR), TRAID gives users flexible disk array configuration, flexible online migration, capacity expansion, and redundancy policies in TOS 5.
TerraMaster uses the Linux disk management tool to subtly divide the hard disk space of different capacities into smaller partitions, and then combine the redundancy strategy to recombine the partitions. With that, TRAID also improves disk space utilization and provides solutions and security protection for storage space changes caused by new business requirements.
- TRAID has features such as the automatic combination of disk space, hard disk failure redundancy protection, and automatic capacity expansion.
- Higher Disk Space Utilization
- Combining five HDDs with different capacities (1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, 8 TB, and 10 TB) to form a disk array with redundancy protection only provides 5 TB of usable storage space with traditional RAID mode (RAID 5). With TRAID's elastic strategy, you can get 23 TB of usable storage space.
