Formatting Logical Drives; G-Speed Studio R Software With Default Settings - G-Technology G Speed studio Product Manual

Formatting Logical Drives

A RAID logical drive must also be formatted to be compatible with your computer. In this
User Manual, the term "format" includes both partition and format operations.
You can format your logical drives using the:
• G-SPEED Studio R Utility with Default settings
• G-SPEED Studio R Utility with Custom Settings
• Mac OS Disk Utility
Both the G- SPEED Studio R Utility and your Mac's Disk Utility offer a choice of formatting
options. However, if there is no specific reason to customize the settings, G-Technology's
default format settings are recommended.

G-SPEED Studio R Software With Default Settings

Wizard, Automatic or Express
When you create your logical drives using the Wizard's Automatic or Express options, your
logical drives are always formatted automatically.
When the G- SPEED Studio R Utility finishes its format operation, new removable drive
icons, each representing one logical drive, will appear on your desktop. When you
see the icon, your logical drive will be ready to use.
Wizard, Advanced or Manual Creation
When you create your logical drives using the Wizard's Advanced option, the Format option
is enabled by default.
