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.
