DriveStation Quattro - Setup
The wizard will step you through setting up your DriveStation Quattro,
configuring your RAID settings, and reformatting if desired.
The DriveStation Quattro can be connected to your computer with either a
USB connection or an eSATA connection. The eSATA connection will usually
give higher performance. However, If you you will be changing RAID modes
or reformating the drives during setup, you must use the USB cable to
connect the Quattro to your PC. You may switch to the eSATA connection
after setup is complete.
Use either the eSATA cable or the USB cable to connect the Quattro to your
computer at any given time. Do not connect both at once!
Using the RAID Utility
The RAID Utility allows you to configure your DriveStation Quattro in several
modes:
Normal Mode - Appears to your computer as four separate hard drives.
Spanning Mode - Appears to your computer as one large hard drive.
RAID 0 Mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. Higher
performance than Spanning Mode.
RAID 1 Mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. The third
and fourth drives keep an exact copy of the first and second drives, for
redundancy.
RAID 5 Mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. Approximately
3/4 of your total space is usable, yet you still have full redundancy, if a drive
fails
Note that changing the mode of the drives in your Quattro will erase all data
on them! Back up any important data before using the RAID utility.
You should be connected to the DriveStation Quattro with a USB cable while
running the RAID utility. You can switch to an eSATA connection for normal
use after the utility has run. You can launch the RAID Utility by clicking on
RAID Setup Utility in the Start menu. (Fig: 5)
