In Windows, they call it “Disk Management”. In Mac, they call it “Disk Utility”. Despite having different names 

and appearances, both Windows Disk Management and Mac Disk Utility do basically the same thing: they allow 

you to create, modify and delete any storage volume connected to your computer.

In order to get the most out of your 

CADA-U3E4

, you will need to become intimately familiar with your disk 

management utility. Please refer to a detailed glossary on our website of the terms and explanations of the 

functions and procedures you will need to understand [http://www.cavalrystorage.com/manuals.aspx].  It’s 

generally a good idea to keep your disk management utility continuously open while you are setting up your 

CADA-U3E4

 and the disks within it. 

Windows: Navigate to Disk Management: Start Menu>right-click (My) Computer>select “Manage”>select 

Disk Management.

Mac: Click an empty space on your Desktop. Then select (from the top of the screen) Go>Utilities>Disk 

Utility.

In Mac, this is a pretty straight-forward affair. Just look at the left-hand column, and search for a newly added disk 

with the term “DMI” or “USB” in it’s title. 

Windows arbitrarily assigns a “Disk Number” to every new disk that is connected; even if the disk does NOT 

show up in (My) Computer. “Disk 0” is always your system or C: drive. Your Cavalry drive will appear 

somewhere beneath Disk 0. It will be given a number, like Disk 1 et al. You will probably only be able to 

recognize it by its size, which will be a little bit less than the quoted drive size. If a connected disk does not appear 

here, the disk is probably defective. See the troubleshooting FAQ  for details.
