Using Your Drive
RAID 1 (Protected)
RAID 1 is great for protecting and securing data, making it ideal for sensitive data, but it
operates at the speed of a single drive. In RAID 1, the array will be at 50 percent of its total
capacity as the same data is written or mirrored to both drives simultaneously.
JBOD
JBOD mode is great for maximum capacity utilization without fear of losing all your data,
as in the case of RAID 0, but they each operate at the speed of a single drive.
The RAID Configuration Utility for Mac
The G-Technology RAID Configurator is used to change the RAID level of your G-RAID.
You can use USB 3.0, eSATA or FireWire 800 with the RAID Configurator. To configure G-
RAID, it will need to be the only device connected to your computer.
The RAID Configurator utility is available for download from the G-Technology website
at g-technology.com/support.
Once you have downloaded the RAID Configurator, you should launch it directly from
the mounted disk image.
