such as power management.

3. Accept or change your storage settings.
By default, your Personal Cloud 2-Bay is configured for maximum protection. This means
that all of the data you copy to your device is stored on one disk, and a copy of that data
is stored on the second disk. This configuration provides the greatest protection, but does
reduce the total capacity of storage on your drive. In the event of a disk failure, you can
replace the failed disk and continue to use your Personal Cloud 2-Bay.
To use all of storage available on your device, select Maximum capacity. This option
allows you to use all available storage (8 TB), but offers no data protection.
Note: If you change the configuration of your Personal Cloud 2-Bay after you have created
your media library or backed up computers in your home, you will lose your data. You'll need
to copy all data offline before you reconfigure your device to a different storage setting.
3. Enter your email address and create a password.
If you have registered with Seagate before, you can use the same email address and
password.
