OS X 10.10 Yosemite Time Machine (TM) with My Book Studio Edition II 2TB

Dear Trancer,

Thank you for your recommendation, but as I wrote, my “My Book Studio Edition II 2TB”

is still nearly brand new and was expensive so I intend to use it instead of buying another drive.

  1. Does your answer imply, that it’s NOT possible to use Disk Utility to create/change a RAID array

on my “My Book Studio Edition II 2TB”? (as I had guessed, because the Mac sees it as ONE drive)

  1. If you could confirm this, wouldn’t it then be possible, as I suggested, to prepare a bootable

USB drive with WD Drive Manager for changing the RAID settings or occasional initializing

the drive (I learned this is a lot quicker than deleting millions of single files) – if required?

I would be VERY thankful if you could answer this before the weekend!

All the best.
