Only one interface
can be used at any 
given time. 
 
 
 
 
Always connect the 
power adapter to 
your device before 
you plug it into the 
wall socket. 
 
 
 
Changing the RAID 
setup will require 
ou to re-format the 
drives. Make sure 
you backup all data 
before doing so! 
 
 
Connection to your Computer 
A few precautions when using your external storage enclosure: 
•  Check the cables for visible damage before turning it on 
•  Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions 
•  Do not cover the enclosure’s ventilation holes 
 
Hard Disk Mode 
on, make sure to disconnect 
the eSATA cable. 
When not in use, turn off the power. For the hard drives to go 
into stand-by with the Operating System, we recommend using 
SATA II hard drives. 
 
RAID Setup 
Non-RAID: The drives will show up as two independent drives. 
Use this if you have only installed one drive or two different 
drives (not the same capacity and brand).  
 
BIG: The two drives show up as one large single volume. This 
mode is also known as JBOD. Spanning is an array (not RAID) 
y itself, it 
does not provide any performance or redundancy benefits. Use 
this if you have installed two different drives and prefer them to 
appear as one large drive. 
 
FAST: Used where speed is the primary objective, RAID 0 
striping is not redundant. This form of array splits each piece of 
data across both of the drives in segments; since data is written 
without any form of parity data-checking, it allows for the fastest 
data transfer of the other modes. However, if one drive 
ecomes damaged, the whole array can become corrupted.
