    The UPnP port forwarding is used for LG Network Storage to directly receive requests from the router connected to the LG Network Storage. Access to the LG Network Storage from the outside using a DDNS usually requires a special set-up for the router to forward network requests received by the router to the LG Network Storage, and the UPnP port forwarding function allows the router to forward data without a separate router set-up.

When configuring volume using RAID, the use of Disks of the same manufacturer and capacity is recommended to maximize stability and efficiency of configuration. In the case that the Disks differ in capacity and trademark, data may be lost due to low system stability and efficiency.

Because the data is saved to each Disk in parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efficiency.
