  • Page 5: Installing The Raid Utility

    By default, your Duo is configured in independent disk mode. This gives you two equally sized drives to use on your computer. For example, a DriveStation Duo 500GB appears by default as two 250 GB hard drives to your computer. If you would prefer a single large drive, or a mirrored RAID pair, you may use the RAID Utility to change your DriveStation Duo’s configuration.
  • Page 6 Using the RAID Utility Double-click the RaidSetting icon on your desktop. The program will open. Once launched, the RAID Utility will briefly scan for your DriveStation Duo. This may take a few seconds. The initial screen will show your configuration. If your Duo is new, it will probably be in Normal mode, with two equally sized independent disks.
  • Page 7 Using the RAID Utility Select the drive structure that you’d like to use. Click OK, Yes, Yes, and OK. Understand that this will erase any data on the drive! The disk structure will be rebuilt and automatically formatted with FAT32. FAT32 is compatible with Windows PCs, Macs, and Linux. However, FAT32 is limited to 4GB files, making it unsuitable for use with many video editing and backup software packages.
