The MyArchive function allows you to use hard drives as removable storage archives. Plug in an archive when you need it and swap it out for a different archive when you don't. Enjoy 'plug and play' convenience as you swap between different data collections.

The number of simultaneous configurable MyArchive hard drives has been significantly increased to N-1. This means that for 4-bay models (e.g., AS6704T) you can have 3 simultaneously mounted MyArchive drives and for 10-bay models (e.g., AS7110T) you can have up to 9 simultaneously mounted MyArchive drives. When you access the data in a MyArchive drive, the other MyArchive drives can remain in hibernation, helping you save power. When used with local backup function, you will be able to take different types of files with different properties and neatly organize and back them up to individual MyArchive drives, all in one go.

Furthermore, a newly added “Alias” field lets users self-define tags for MyArchive drives. This allows users to quickly determine the contents of MyArchive drives from within ADM File Explorer when multiple drives are mounted simultaneously.
