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 Software Utility with Default settings
• G-SPEED Studio Software Utility with Custom Settings
• Mac OS® Disk Utility
Both the G- SPEED Studio Software 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.

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 Software 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.
