Is one of my drives dead?

Hello All

This is my first post in the community so bare with me. 

I recently bought a used MY BOOK STUDIO 2 2TB and am using it with my imac using ox 10.8.4. I have been using it as a raid 1 and it seems to work fine. 

My qustion is how do I know if both sides of the raid are working? When I look at the drive in Disk Utility it only shows as a 1tb drive is this normal?

I hope I have provided enough info

Thanks

You can use the WD Drive Manager app to verify the drives integrity.

Looks like in this case you have RAID 0 and that will use one drive for data and the other one for redundancy. If that’s the case the RAID seems to be working fine.

You can download the WD Drive Manager on the link bellow:
