G-SPEED Studio Software Utility

G-SPEED Studio XL ships preconfigured in RAID 5 and is ready to use out of the box without
configuration. However, G-Technology recommends installing the bundled G-Technology Assistant
utility and the G-SPEED Studio Software Utility even if you do not plan to make any changes to
device configuration. The applications are useful for monitoring the system and getting firmware
updates. Additionally, the utility is necessary if you plan to change the enclosure's default RAID
configuration (RAID 5) or if you will swap out any of the pre-installed hard drives.
The G-SPEED Studio Software Utility installation package is available on the G-Technology website
and can be easily downloaded. Follow the instructions below to easily install the G-SPEED Studio
Software Utility.
