Using RAID Modes
Supported RAID Modes
G-RAID mini ships from the factory in RAID 0 mode, and for use with Mac OS X systems.
The drive can be congured in RAID 0 (Performance) mode or RAID 1 (Protected) mode.
The following table explains the advantages and disadvantages for each RAID level.
To change the RAID mode of the G-RAID mini, follow the steps in Congure the RAID
Mode.
RAID 0 (Performance)
G-RAID mini ships in RAID 0 (Performance) mode. This RAID mode has 100% storage
capacity and is ideal for video editing. In RAID 0, data is split between the the two
drives for increased performance.
RAID 1 (Protected)
RAID 1 is great for protection and security of data, making it ideal for sensitive data
rather than large amounts. In RAID 1, the array will be at 50% of its total capacity as the
same data is written to both drives simultaneously.
