I have recently purchased a 4TB G-RAID Storage System with Removable Drives . I have never used Raid arrays before. This is my first G-Technology product, after years of LaCies…
This is an iMac, 4 GHz Intel Core i7, running El Captain 10.11.6 (15G1510)
The new drive mounted immediately and showed 4 TB
1.) I downloaded G Technology Raid Configuration Utility.
2.) I re-configured the drive to RAID 1
3.) The utility appeared to execute the re-formattng, and re-booted the computer.
4.) When the iMac came back up, the OS did not recognize the drive.
5.) I I re-formatted the drive, and it came up on the desktop, now saying it was a 2 TB drive, which would suggest that it is now in RAID 1 configuration.
It seems to have worked, but it also seems like a strange path for setting up a drive!
Before I commit a major project to this new drive, how do I know this drive is all set to go, and correctly configured? Any suggestions on testing the configuration? I appreciate your time. Thank you.
