is set up at the factory for use with  

 

Mac OS X systems.  If you are running Mac OS X,  

G-RAID

the box.  If it becomes necessary to re-format G-RAID

3 

for 

Mac OS X, see section 7.1. 

Attention Windows Users 
G-RAID

must be formatted for the Windows 

Operating System before use on a PC.  Please see 

section 7.2 for more information. 

Attention Cross Platform Users 
G-RAID

3 

can be used on both MAC and PC 

systems by formatting the drive “FAT32.”  
There are some limitations when using FAT 

32, see section 7.3 for details.  Alternatively you can install 
software on the Windows machine such as “MacDrive” which 
will allow you to mount MAC formatted drives on your PC. 

1. Connect the plug from the power supply “brick” to the 
power connector on the rear of G-RAID

3 

and plug the AC 

cable in to a surge protector or wall outlet. 
 

2. Connect G-RAID

3 

to your system via the eSATA, FireWire 

400, FireWire 800 or USB port. For maximum performance we 
recommend connecting G-RAID

3 

to your computer via the 

eSATA port.    
 

Note: For maximum performance on Mac and PC computers that do not 
support eSATA, it is recommended to install an eSATA PCIe adapter (for 
desktops) or an eSATA CardBus adapter (for laptops). Visit G-Tech at  

www.g-technology.com

 to purchase these adapters.

desktop if you are using a Mac computer.
