3.3. Removing and Installing Drives

In the event that an individual hard disk fails in the LaCie 2big
USB 3.0, please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer
Support. Please replace a defective hard drive only with a new
drive provided by LaCie. For drive removal and replacement pro-
cess, please follow the steps below.
CAUTION: After continuous use of the LaCie 2big USB 3.0,
drives may be hot. Use caution when removing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A replacement drive must have the same
or greater capacity than the drive it is replacing.
To Remove a Drive:
✦ RAID 0 or JBOD: Turn off the 2big USB 3.0 and unplug it.
✦ RAID 1: The 2big USB 3.0 may stay on while removing the
disk.
1. The drive tray may be locked. To unlock it, insert the round
end of the provided 2-in-1 tool into the slot on the drive
lock and turn the lock until the slot is vertical
2. Draw out the drive tray by inserting your finger into the
space behind the drive tray handle and pulling to disengage
the drive (Fig. 15).
3. Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the drive
(Fig. 15).
✦ RAID 0: Turn the 2big USB 3.0 on. To use the remaining
drive, you must format it (See
ing).
✦ RAID 1 or JBOD: If it is off, turn the 2big USB 3.0 on to
use the remaining drive. Please note that RAID 1 requires a
second disk to mirror data.
IMPORTANT NOTE: LaCie highly recommends replacing the
disk that has been removed.
