Disk modules

There are slots for disk modules in the K2 Summit system. The slots are located behind the front bezel assembly in the front of the chassis. Each slot can contain one disk module, and each module contains one hard drive. A K2 Summit system contains 2 disk modules. Disk modules plug into the drive cable assembly.

Data is written or “striped” across the disks in a continuous fashion, which makes the disks a “stripe group”. This stripe group appears as the V: drive to the Windows operating system. The V: drive stores media. It also stores media file system, database, and configuration information.

Disks are configured as RAID 0, so you can not remove and replace a disk module while the K2 Solo Media Server is operational. If a disk fails, you lose all media.
