To protect your files and help prevent the loss of your data, we strongly recommend that you keep two

storage media such as CD, DVD, Tape or an additional external drive.
Any loss or corruption of data while using the DS322 is the sole responsibility of the user, and under no
circumstances will the manufacturer be held liable for compensation or the recovery of this data.

3.2 FAQ
Q: Can I connect this device to a USB 2.0 host?
A: Yes, this device is backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
Q: What file system should I choose to format my drive?
A: This will depend on how you want to use the drive but in general, we recommend:
• Windows Vista/7 NTFS
• Mac OS X HFS+ (Mac OS Extended)
• To use it on both PC and Mac FAT32 (single file size is limited to 4GB)
Q: How many drives can fail before I lose my data?
A: For RAID 0, any drive failure will result in the data being lost. For RAID 1, more than one drive
failure at the same time will mean the data can not be recovered anymore. For Non-RAID, only the
data on the defective drive will be lost.
