Configuring RAID
My Book Mirror Edition is preformatted as a single Windows NTFS partition and is
pre-configured for RAID 1 (Mirrored) mode for data protection which dedicates half
the capacity to mirror the data in both drives A and B. This product also supports
RAID 0 (Striped) mode for maximum capacity and accelerated performance.
1. To configure or change the RAID setting, select the device from the menu and
click Next.
2. Select the desired RAID configuration by clicking RAID 0 or RAID 1 (the
following example shows RAID 0). Select Quick NTFS format if you want the
drive formatted automatically following completion of the new RAID setting.
Important: Before you proceed, make sure to back up all files stored in My Book
onto another storage device.
