Page 9: How To Create A Raid
How to create a RAID The T3 comes formatted as a software RAID 0 using Mac’s HFS + file system. Windows users must recreate the RAID in the T3 using Window’s disk NOTE management software using the NTFS format. Creating a RAID will delete any information on the hard drives so make sure to back up all your data before proceeding. - Page 10 RAID 0 provides no protection against drive failure. It is highly recommended to have a backup when using the T3 in RAID 0. Mirrored RAID Set - RAID 1 - creates identical copies of data across all drives in the RAID 1 volume.
- Page 11 Locate the three CalDigit disks on the left panel. Drag and drop each one onto the list on the right. Select the “create” button and Disk Utility will create the RAID. The volume will mount on your desktop and it will be ready for use.
