G-RAID with Thunderbolt 2 - Data loss risk?

G-Technology G-RAID & G-DOCK
1

Hello everyone,

I’m a novice with Raid systems. I’ve bought a G-RAID with Thunderbolt 2. I’m a bit uneasy and not sure if it’s all working as it should as I’m setting this up myself.

To make it worst, the G Technology Assistant shows the slot 2 greyed out. I suppose this is not normal?

Can someone guide me? Many thanks.

The G-Tech Assistant isn’t necessary for this device and it won’t read what you have properly on a newer OS.

The G-RAID out of the box is a RAID0 device. If you wish to change it to RAID1 for mirroring you will need to use our RAID configurator and then erase the drive so that it is usable.

I have indeed used the configurator to make the GRaid a raid 1. So much so the disk is a 16TB (2x8tb) and it appears as a single 8TB in the Finder.
My concern was that the raid wasn’t working properly, since Slot 2 all wars it’s greyed out in the Assistant.

Thanks

That is correct, the Assistant can’t read the controller so it will show the 2nd disc like that.

And that’s ok for a Raid 1?
