RAID 5: If G-SPEED Q was configured in a protected RAID 5 mode, a drive failure will 
not result in data loss. However, the array is now in an unprotected state and the failed 
drive should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid data loss. 

RAID 0: If G-SPEED Q is configured as RAID 0, there will be data loss. Read more in

Follow the steps below to identify and replace a failed drive.

1.  With the unit powered up, locate the malfunctioning drive by 

visually inspecting the drive modules. If an amber LED is lit for a 
drive, that drive has failed.

2.  Remove the failed drive by inserting the provided key into the 

lock hole, and gently sliding the drive module out of the enclo-
sure. 

 

Be careful about which drive you pull out. REMOVING THE 
WRONG DRIVE WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THE ARRAY AND 
ALL OF ITS CONTENT.

4.  Replace the failed drive with a new disk module. Secure it in 

place by pushing in the drive and latching the handle.  

 

NOTE: During the 3 year warranty period, contact G-Technology
