The '''Ring Buffer''' support 2 different modes.  
The '''Single Shared Ring Buffer''' can be used if you need only one Ring Buffer. It uses one storage for the '''Ring Buffer and Pcap to Disk'''.  This mode is recommended if only one storage device is used as it allows a '''Ring Buffer''' and space for '''Pcap files''' on the same storage. Please note that using both features at the same time might lead to a performance bottleneck.

The '''Cluster Ring Buffer''' mode allows to use multiple Ring Buffers where each Ring Buffer has multiple disks. It allows having a separate disk for Pcap files which allows fast '''Ring Buffer and fast '''Pcap to Disk''' writes at the same time.
