However, the Wi-Fi connection may introduce latency or slower data transfer speeds compared to a wired connection.It's important to note that for optimal performance and reliability, it is recommended to connect the NAS Promise Vess 1730i to a wired network using Ethernet cables.

Can the NAS Promise Vess 1730i support multiple Wi-Fi standards simultaneously, and what are the potential benefits of such integration?

No, the NAS Promise Vess 1730i is a storage device and does not have built-in Wi-Fi capabilities. It is designed to provide high-performance storage for data-intensive applications and is typically connected to a network using wired Ethernet connections.However, if you want to add Wi-Fi functionality to your network, you can connect a separate wireless access point or router to the NAS device. This would allow multiple Wi-Fi standards to be supported simultaneously, depending on the capabilities of the access point or router.The potential benefits of integrating Wi-Fi into a network with a NAS device include:Wireless mobility: Users can connect their devices to the network and access the NAS storage without being physically tethered to a wired connection. This provides flexibility and convenience in accessing and transferring data.Increased accessibility: Wi-Fi allows for easy connectivity across multiple devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Users can access the NAS storage from any Wi-Fi enabled device within the network range.Scalability: Wi-Fi networks can be easily expanded by adding more access points to cover larger areas or accommodate more devices. This allows for future growth and flexibility in the network infrastructure.Remote access: With Wi-Fi, users can remotely access the NAS storage from outside the local network. This enables access to files and data from anywhere, as long as there is an internet connection.Reduced cabling: Wi-Fi eliminates the need for extensive cabling infrastructure, making it easier to set up and maintain the network. This can be particularly beneficial in environments where running cables is impractical or costly.It's important to note that the NAS device itself does not directly support Wi-Fi standards, but rather relies on the integration of a separate wireless access point or router to enable Wi-Fi connectivity.

Why can’t ordinary software tools restore files from RAID?

Conventional hard disks keep user’s data by writing it to their surface in a consecutive way, and this is how an entire file is stored on a single hard disk. However, when data is written to a RAID system, a file is divided into several parts. Then these parts are written consecutively to all hard disks within such array. The size of such parts may range from 2 KB to 2 MB, so each file is stored on several hard disks at the same time.

Such approach helps to speed up read and write operations, and it is evident that saving two parts of a file having the size of 1 GB to two hard disks simultaneously is much faster than saving the same 1 GB of data to one hard disk. However, this peculiarity makes file recovery more complicated.

Various RAID levels store information in different ways. Additionally, manufacturers like Promise also introduce some modifications to this process, and that is why data can be written to hard disk in a wide variety of ways.

Can implementing user quotas or permissions help prevent accidental data loss on NAS Promise Vess 1730i devices?

Yes, implementing user quotas and permissions can help prevent accidental data loss on NAS Promise Vess 1730i devices. User quotas allow administrators to set limits on the amount of storage space that each user or group can consume on the NAS device. This helps prevent users from unintentionally filling up the storage and potentially causing data loss.

Permissions, on the other hand, allow administrators to control access to files and folders on the NAS device. By setting appropriate permissions, administrators can restrict users from making changes or deleting critical files and folders, reducing the chances of accidental data loss.

By combining user quotas and permissions, administrators can ensure that users have limited storage capacity and restricted access to prevent accidental data loss on the NAS device.

How to take hard disks out of the NAS and connect them to a PC?

Although NAS Vess 1730i can be accessed over the network, you still need to take the hard disks out of the storage device and connect them to a Windows computer. Only in this case will the software be able to scan them properly. Here is what you should do:

Turn off the storage and disconnect it from the power supply.

WARNING! Before you start taking hard disks out of your NAS device, read the manual carefully. Incorrect actions may damage your network-attached storage and/or the hard disks within the RAID system.
Take the hard disks out of the NAS one by one, carefully removing them from their slots. Remember that the disks are extremely vulnerable: hitting or dropping them may result in serious physical damage.
Make sure to mark each hard disk in accordance with how they were installed inside the NAS.
Remove the hard disks and connect them to the computer. In this video, we have explored what ports are used to connect hard disks, and what to do if there are not enough ports or connectors.

Safe recovery from disk images

This utility lets you save an entire copy of the disk to file and then work with this image instead of the actual disk. Such feature helps to protect data on the disk from:

Overwriting during the recovery process;
Loss resulting from bad sectors;
User mistakes.

To create an image, do the following:

Make sure that you have enough free space to save the image. The image file size usually equals the disk size.
Select the disk in the main window, and choose from the menu Tools – Save Disk. You can select multiple disks to be saved.
When the image creation wizard starts, you can choose to save the entire disk or select only a part of it. Specify the parameters and click Next.
At this stage, you need to choose a directory where to save the image. Choose any disk connected to this PC, or save the image by FTP.

Where are user’s files stored?

The Promise Vess 1730i network-attached storage keeps OS Linux operating system files on a separate RAID 1 (mirrored) array. Usually, all NAS systems create several volumes on every hard disk, and the first of them takes up to 2 Gb of space. This is where operating system files are stored. Other volumes are united into a RAID array where user’s data is written.
