Stripe (RAID 0)
- Two volumes will mount on your desktop, each made
up of a high-speed RAID-0 Stripe - combining two volumes each. Using
a RAID-0 Stripe format, if you had 4 1TB drives in your OWC Mercury
Rack Pro, you would have 2 2TB volumes mount on your desktop.

on the “RAID 0” position (RIGHT).
Choose the connection method you desire (USB, FireWire 800),
and power on the OWC Mercury Rack Pro enclosure. You will
see these dialog boxes pop up. Click on “Initialize”.
