Using RAID Modes
G SPEED Q
™
The Congurator Utility
To change the RAID level for your G-SPEED Q, you will
need a software utility from G-Technology called Con-
gurator. NOTE: YOU MUST CONNECT THE DRIVE VIA
THE USB PORT TO USE CONFIGURATOR.
The utility is available on the enclosed CD or you can
download it from the G-Technology website at www.g-
technology/support
If you downloaded Congurator, you should launch it directly from the mounted Disk
Image. If you copied Congurator from our CD, it is important that you copy it (by
Option+dragging) to your Applications folder prior to running. Congurator will not
work if you drag it to the Applications Folder and then launch.
Congure the RAID Mode
It is easy to congure the RAID mode with the following steps. NOTE: Changing the
RAID level will erase all data on the drive. Be sure all the material you want to save is
backed up to a separate disk.
1. Connect G-SPEED Q via its USB port and launch the Congurator utility. A window
will appear asking you to disconnect all other external hard disks from your com-
puter. This is important to ensure that Congurator does not aect other FireWire or
USB devices on your system.
