About the Hard Drive

The product comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format allows for operation with
either Windows or Mac OS.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1 GB = 1,000,000,000
bytes/1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software,
formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As a result,
and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as fewer
megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.

Locating the Drive on Your Desk

Place the drive on a sturdy desk or table that is free from clutter that could block airflow
around the unit. Take care not to block any air vents.

Configuring the RAID Mode

This Verbatim external 2-disk RAID product can be set to one of three operating modes.
The factory default setting is Concatenation (also called Spanning). The switch setting for
Concatenation mode is labeled "BIG". If Concatenation is your desired mode, then you
can jump to the next section of the manual since no further configuration is required.
WARNING: Changing RAID mode will delete all data on the drive. Do not change the
setting of the RAID Mode Switch unless you have first saved all of the data from the drive
to another storage location.
RAID 0 (also called Striping) distributes data across both disks in a way which can
improve throughput, while retaining full capacity. However, in case of possible failure
of either disk, all data will be lost and the array will no longer mount to your computer.
