Western Digital My Book Studio II no mirror

Hello , I am using Western Digital My Book Studio II 2TB.

Is there a chance to use it without a mirror ? I mean to have 2TB of usable disk space

(not 1TB space + 1TB mirrored space).

If yes, so how can I configure that ?

Thank you for your answers !

Use the RAID manager and set it to RAID 0 . You may have to download it from WD. The down side to RAID 0 is if one drive goes bad all your stuff is gone.

I don’t think I understand the original question.

The RAID drives can be used in a mirrored setup so the information is complete on both drives, in this case 1T.  In RAID 0 this drive will act like one big drive and be 2T capacity. The down side of RAID 0 is if one drive dies you may loose all of your data.
