3.2. Changing the RAID Mode

Before you change the RAID mode of the LaCie 2big, familiarize yourself with the 2big’s RAID modes. See section 3.1. About 2big Triple RAID Modes.

important info: Changing the RAID mode de- stroys data stored on the LaCie 2big. If you have saved data on the drives, back up data before following these steps.

caution: Disk drives must be inserted correctly in the 2big before configuration can be changed.

To change the RAID mode:

1.If there is data on the 2big you want to save, back it up to another device.

2.Unmount/safely remove the 2big and turn it off.

3.Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver into the groove on the rotary switch and turn the screwdriver to the left or right to select a different mode (Fig. 3.2).

4.Turn on the 2big.

important info: You must partition the disk drives after changing the storage policy configuration. See section 3.3. Partitioning the LaCie 2big Disks.

CAUTION: Your LaCie 2big comes precon- figured in Fast (RAID 0) mode. Fast mode al- lows access to the whole storage capacity but does not provide any security. If a drive fails, all data will be lost. If you are concerned about data security, LaCie highly recommends a RAID 1 (Safe 100) configuration. See section
