5. Конфигурација на RAID
The Cenmate enclosure supports four RAID modes for SATA drives: Normal, RAID 1, RAID 0, and JBOD. M.2 NVMe SSDs are always treated as independent drives.
Important Note: Press and hold the "Reset" button for 5 seconds after resetting the RAID array. Designing or changing RAID modes may result in data loss. Always back up your data before performing RAID configuration.

Image 5.1: RAID Mode Configuration
- Нормално: Each drive operates independently. (Switch 1 & 2 are down)
- RAID 1 (отсликување): Data is duplicated across two drives for redundancy. Requires two drives. Capacity equals the smallest drive. (Switch 1 & 2 are up)
- RAID 0 (Разделување): Data is split across two drives for increased speed. Requires two drives. Total capacity is the sum of both drives. (Switch 1 up & Switch 2 down)
- JBOD (Само еден куп дискови): Drives are concatenated to form a single large volume. Requires two drives. Total capacity is the sum of both drives. (Switch 1 down & Switch 2 up)
6. Упатства за работа
After installing your drives and configuring RAID (if desired), connect the enclosure to your computer using the provided USB A/C 3.2 Gen 2 cable and power adapter. Power on the device using the switch on the rear panel. Your operating system should detect the drives. For new drives, you may need to initialize and format them through Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) before use.

9 Смена на проблеми
Погледнете ги следните вообичаени проблеми и нивните решенија:
9.1 Hard Drive Not Found / RAW Format

Image 9.1: Troubleshooting Q1 & Q2
- Q1: After connecting a new hard drive, why can't I find it or see its disc letter?
А1: New hard drives must be formatted before use. Right-click 'Computer' (or 'This PC'), then 'Manage', open 'Disk Management'. Find the new hard drive, right-click 'Initialize Disk' (select 'MBR' for drives ≤ 2TB, 'GPT' for drives > 2TB). Then, 'New Simple Volume' and follow the prompts to format the partition. - П2: Хард дискот се појавува во RAW формат во Управувањето со дискови поради неправилно извлекување или прекин на електричната енергија. Што треба да направам?
А2: You can attempt recovery using thechkdskcommand. Run Command Prompt as administrator, then inputchkdsk D:/f(replace 'D' with the actual drive letter). Scanning and repair will complete, and a reboot may be required.
9.2 Други вообичаени проблеми

Image 9.2: Troubleshooting Q3-Q5
- П3: Хард дискот е динамички неважечки во Управувањето со дискови бидејќи претходно бил отстранет од стар компјутер.
А3: This is a system-related issue. Reinstall the hard drive into the original computer motherboard and back up the data. If the old computer is unavailable, you can use dynamic disk conversion software to convert it to a basic disk. - П4: Хард дискот се прикажува, но нема буква за дискот.
А4: In Disk Management, right-click on the Disk Partition section and select 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' to add a drive letter for use. - П5: Куќиштето автоматски се исклучува за време на преносот, а потоа повторно се поврзува по некое време.
А5: This could indicate issues with the computer's USB interface, the USB cable, computer USB drivers, the hard drive itself, or the hard drive enclosure. Contact technical support for assistance in diagnosing the problem.
