(3) Inserting or Removing Drives
Inserting: Gently pull the lever and insert/remove the drive into
the bay. Push the drive all the way into the bay until you feel it
seated into the connector. Release the lever.
(4) Setup
Hz
The default mode is JBOD. To set a new mode, perform these steps:
Set RAID Procedure:
1. Set the switch on the Mobius to the desired mode.
2. Connect the Mobius to the host computer.
3. Press & hold the MODE button for 5-7 seconds.
4. Release the MODE button. The RAID mode is now con gured.
If changing RAID modes, you rst must perform a "Clear" procedure
to remove the previous RAID mode.
Clear Procedure:
1. Set the switch on the Mobius to JBOD.
2. Connect the Mobius to the host computer.
3. Press & hold the MODE button for 5-7 seconds.
4. Release the MODE button. Any previous RAID mode is removed
and the drives are now set for JBOD mode.

(5) RAID Modes
RAID 0 (Striping)
is a non-redundant data mapping technique. It
combines data evenly across both drives simultaneously; dramatically
increasing performance.
• RAID 0 will be viewed as one single storage unit.
System fails, all data in installed disks will be lost.
• The total capacity = smallest drive x the total number of drives. For
example, if the smallest drive is 500GB and the other is 2TB, the total
capacity will be 1TB (500 x 2).
RAID 1 (Mirroring)
consists of two drives storing duplicate copies of the
same data. In this mode, the data is simultaneously written to two disks.
The speed of operation is slow in comparison to RAID 0.
JBOD (Clear)
is simply is a collection of drives that are recognized as
separate drives by the OS. JBOD provides no performance increase or
redundancy. This is the default setting.
Combine (Span)
combines both hard drives into a single logical unit.
Unlike Striping, it writes data to the rst drive until it reaches full capacity.
When the rst disk reaches full capacity, data is written to the second disk.
Spanning does not increase performance or safety.
(6) Formatting
After setting a new RAID mode, you must format the volume
before it is accessible.

Note: The drive can be used on both Windows and Mac
systems by formatting the drive as "MS-DOS (FAT32)" or
"exFAT. " Instructions are provided in the Mac OS link above.
