The drive bay's red LED will briefly illuminate when a drive is detected. When a solid state drive
or hard disk drive is being read or written to, the drive bay's LED will flash according to the level
of disk activity.
When plugging in formatted SSDs or HDDs, they will be recognized by your computer
and mounted.
On Mac OS, your drives will appear on your desktop.

Using Blackmagic MultiDock

Identifying Drives

Blackmagic MultiDock has 4 independent drive bays. We recommend naming or renaming your
drives so you can easily identify them. You can name your drives when formatting using the
Disk Utility application on Mac OS, or Windows Disk Management on Windows. Renaming
your drive is as easy as right clicking on your drive in Mac OS Finder or Windows File Explorer.
It's also helpful to physically label your drives so you can visually identify the drive in each
drive bay.
You can easily rename your drives using Finder
in Mac OS or Windows File Explorer
