Pre-Requisites for Disk-Mirroring
- Although It is preferable that drives share the same manufacturer
and model type, it is not mandatory.
- "Target Drive" must be equal or bigger capacity than the "Source
Drive".
Note: Any data on the HDDs will be lost.
Installation Guide
Mirror Drive
To partition and format a disk, connect the Mirror
Drive to the host through USB or FireWire 1394
port and perform one of the following
Windows XP
right-click "My Computer"
click "Manage"
click "Disk Management"
the disk appears in the lower right-hand corner.
See the Windows help for further guidance.
Mac OS X
when you connect the disk, the operating system
should prompt you to initialize the disk; otherwise,
run "Disk Utility".
Note: We recommend that you use a journalled file system, such as
NTFS or journalled MacFS.
Note: RIB =RAID Information Block.
