Page 11: Raid Settings
NOTE: changing the RAID mode for the Mercury Elite Pro Dual requires an active USB or FireWire connection. See Section 2.3.2 - “RAID Modes” for more information on each RAID mode that can be used, and how it differs from the others. -
Page 12: Drive Failure
In the event that one of the drives fails, the corresponding drive LED will turn solid red. If the Mercury Elite Pro Dual was configured as a RAID 0 or Span, the data on the array is lost and the volume is no longer usable. In a span, only the data stored on the failed drive is lost, although data recovery software will be required to recover the data from the other drive in the Span. - Page 13 NOTE: The Mercury Elite Pro Dual needs an active data signal to remain powered on. If it is disconnected from the computer, or if the computer goes to sleep or turns off, the device will power off. To minimize the total rebuild time, it is recommended to keep the device connected to the computer (with the computer powered on), and disable any hard drive sleep settings on the computer for the duration of the rebuild process.
