4.  Connect the product into the PC USB 3.0 port by USB3.0 cable, HDD LED 

should turn ON to indicate the SATA hard drives were detected.   

5.  Format the drives. 

6.  Done 

 

Note: Changing the RAID mode will require you to re-format the drivers.Make 

sure to backup all existing data first! 

 

※ 

Normal Mode (Non-Raid): 

 

Normal mode is the default setting of HDD enclosure, and will not use any 

RAID mode. In Normal mode, both of the two hard disks inside the enclosure 

are in an independent operation state, and also will be identified as two 

separate drives in the system explorer. Users can choose any hard drive for 

storing files. If one hard drive is damaged, the other hard drives data will not be 

affected.   

 

※ 

JBOD Mode (Spanning): 

 

In JBOD mode two hard drives will be merged into one. Performance and 

literacy speed will be the same as a single hard drive. The total capacity of the 

portable hard drive is equal to the sum of the two hard drives combined. When 

writing data to the JBOD array, the system will write date to the first disk. When 

the storage space of the first disk is full the data will start be stored on the 

second disk. If the data in the first disk is damaged, then all data in the array 

will be lost.
