The system recognizes two separate SSDs/HDDs of their own capacity when host supports port-multi. Example: you install 100GB and 80GB Hard Drives, and will see two separate capacities of 100GB &... - Page 12 User Manual drive with larger capacity. For example, you install 100GB and 80GB Hard Drives, and the capacity will be in one 180GB (100GB+80GB) totally. 4. RAID 0 Mode (Set DIP SW-1: ON, SW-2: ON) RAID 0 Mode is the fastest RAID Mode.

User Manual Trouble Shooting A) Why can’t I open the panel cover? Please check the Safety Lock is at UNLOCK position. B) Can I install or uninstall the Hard Drive anytime?

H) Why is the capacity small in RAID 1? The RAID 1 is the safest RAID Mode. The RAID enclosure needs the same capacity in both Hard Drives to mirror the data. Though the capacity will be smallest, the data can rebuild automatically in case one of your hard drive is broken.
- Page 15 User Manual Notice: 1. Hot-plug function depends on your PC system. Generally, internal SATA device does not support hot-plug function. Some e-SATA devices support but also depend on the motherboard driver. If you are not clear that your PC system supports or not, please do not change your SSD or HDD as the PC is working.
