RAID
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:
If there is data on the 2big you want to save, back it
up to another device.
Unmount/safely remove the 2big and turn it off.
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).
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.

3.2. Changing the RAID Mode
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
3.1. About 2big Triple RAID Modes, for more
information.
