BIG:

It concatenates a series of physical hard drives as a single large

volume; hard drive A and B are combined into a storage capacity

that is equal to the sum of each of the physical hard drives A and B.

It is also possible to create a BIG volume using only a single hard

disk drive connected to SATA connector 1, and then increase the

storage capacity of the volume later by adding another hard disk

drive to SATA connector 2, and pressing reset button. However, it

is not possible to expand an existing BIG volume by adding

another hard disk drive to SATA connector 2 and still preserve any

existing data on that volume.

BIG Mode:
