This product came with 3 software’s.
One for backup which I did not install as I use Time Machine.
Second “WD Turbo” drivers this also I did not install as WD website says drivers included in Mac OS X are the same as WD Turbo.
Third “Drive Manager” this also I did not install as it is used only for setting up RAID & label.
Currently when I connect my hdd, Mac detects it as a single 2 TB drive & I get speeds of upto 40 MB/ps using firewire 800.
- Will installing any of the above s/w really improve the speed?
2.1) If I configure RAID 0 using WD drive manager, I will get full 2 TB of storage?
2.2) Will it really improve the speed I currently get?
2.3) Is it more secure than not using RAID at all?
