3.7 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/7/8/8.1(32-bit, 64-bit)-NTFS
Mac OS X - HFS+ (Mac OS Extended)
To use it on both PC and Mac - FAT32 or exFAT
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 cannot be recovered anymore. For Non-RAID, only the data on the defective drive will be lost. For BIG mode, only data in
the failure hard drive will be lost.
Q: How to access data when one drive fails in RAID 1 mode?
A: If one drive fails in RAID 1 mode, you can still access the data in backup drive directly, there is no need to change RAID mode.
Please note that before you exchange the failed drive, please do not change to other RAID mode or you will not be able to rebuild
RAID 1 array.
