(10) RAID 1 Rebuild
If one of the drives fail, the D1 or D2 LED will turn RED while
connected to a computer. A new HDD can be installed and will
automatically rebuild with data.
Note: The replacement drive must be the same capacity as the original.
1. Power down the Mobius.
2. Remove the failed drive.
3. Install the new drive and power up the Mobius with it connected to
the computer.
4. The D1/D2 LED will blink about 2-3 times per second, which
indicates a rebuild in progress.
5. You may disconnect the MiniPro from the computer during the
rebuild, if desired. This will not interrupt the rebuild.
Note: To estimate the rebuild time, take the size of both drives and divide
by 2. For example, a 20TB RAID1 will take 10 hours (20TB divided by 2). This
can vary based on drive model and specs.

(8) Sleep
To prevent potential data corruption, it is important to properly eject
the storage volume(s).
Mac: Close all windows and applications that are accessing the
drive. Drag the drive icon to the Trash/Eject icon to dismount it.
The activity LED will cycle on/o and the HDD will spin down.
Windows: Close all applications that are accessing the Mobius.
Click the “Eject Hardware”(Safely Remove) icon in the system tray
and select the drive. The activity LED will cycle on/o and the drive
will spin down.
(9) Ejecting the Drives
If there is no HDD activity, the computer may put the Mobius to
sleep (LEDs o, HDDs spin down) depending on the energy
saver settings of the computer. The Mobius will wake up when
accessed.
(11) Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Mobius Pro 2C compatible with Thunderbolt 2 using a
Thunderbolt 3 adapter?
No, the Mobius Pro 2C is not compatible with Thunderbolt 2 using an
adapter of any make or model.
2) Can a Thunderbolt 3 device be connected to the HUB port of the
Mobius Pro 2C?
No it cannot. If you desire to daisy-chain with other Thunderbolt 3
devices, simply place the 2C at the end of the chain and connect
the MAIN port to the Thunderbolt 3 device. Additional USB devices
can be connected to the HUB port on the Mobius.
3) Must it be connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port in order to daisy-
chain with additional devices?
The Mobius Pro 2C can daisy-chain with other devices while connected
to a USB or Thunderbolt 3 port.
4) How many Mobius Pro 2C can be connected in a chain?
A total of six devices may be connected in a chain.
5) Does a "Clear" procedure delete data from existing RAID 1 or
JBOD drive(s)?
No, if a Clear procedure is performed on RAID 1 or JBOD drives, the
existing data on the drives will not be deleted.
6) Can I remove a drive from the RAID and install it in another
enclosure for access to the les?
Yes, only if using RAID 1(Mirroring) or JBOD.
7) Can a bus-powered drive be connected to the HUB port?
Yes, a total of 15W is available for drives connected to the HUB port.

(5) RAID Modes
RAID 0 (Striping) is a non-redundant data mapping technique. It
combines data evenly across both drives simultaneously; dramatically
increasing performance.
• RAID 0 will be viewed as one single storage unit. If one disk in the RAID
System fails, all data in installed disks will be lost.
• The total capacity = smallest drive x the total number of drives. For
example, if the smallest drive is 500GB and the other is 2TB, the total
capacity will be 1TB (500 x 2).
RAID 1 (Mirroring) consists of two drives storing duplicate copies of the
same data. In this mode, the data is simultaneously written to two disks.
The speed of operation is slow in comparison to RAID 0.
JBOD (Clear) is simply is a collection of drives that are recognized as
separate drives by the OS. JBOD provides no performance increase or
redundancy.This is the default setting.
Combine (Span) combines both hard drives into a single logical unit.
Spanning does not increase performance or safety.

(4) RAID Setup
The default mode is JBOD, which is two independent drives. If your
Mobius has pre-installed drives, they are formatted as exFAT for
Windows and Mac. If you desire
a mode other than JBOD, perform
a ‘Set RAID’ as follows:
Set RAID:
1. Connect the Mobius to a computer using an included cable. Connect
the AC power cable and press the power switch to turn on the unit.
2. Set the switch on the Mobius to the desired RAID mode.
3. Press & hold the MODE button for approximately 5-10 seconds.
4. Release the MODE button. The RAID is congured and ready for
formatting (section 7).
If changing or deleting a RAID modes, rst perform a “Clear” procedure.
Clear Procedure:
1. Set the switch on the Mobius to JBOD.
2. Connect the Mobius to the host computer.
3. Press & hold the MODE button for approximately 5-10 seconds.
4. Release the MODE button. Any previous RAID mode is removed
and the drives are now set for JBOD mode.
