Introduction
Your Verbatim external 2-disk RAID product comes with two separate hard drives inside.
“RAID” is short for “Redundant Array of Independent Disks” and is a standard method
of combining two or more hard disk drives to achieve higher levels of performance,
reliability, and capacity.
Before you begin to use the drive there are a few important things to learn about your new
product.
Controls, Connectors and Indicators
First familiarize yourself with the features of the unit.
Front Panel Area
The front panel contains two multi-colored LEDs that show through a single lens, as
illustrated below. During the power-on sequence both LEDs will flash BLUE. When the
power-sequence completes normally both LEDs will remain BLUE and stay fully ON. Both
LEDs will flash BLUE quickly during data access.

Rear Panel Area
Along the rear panel you will find the ON/OFF button, the interface connectors and the
RAID Mode Switch. Refer to the figure below.
1. ON/OFF button. Once the AC Adapter has been properly connected to the drive and an
AC outlet, you can press the ON/OFF button to power on the drive. To turn off the
drive, press the ON/OFF button again.
2. DC Input Connector. Connect the DC cable of your included AC Adapter to the DC
Input Connector.
3. USB Connector. Use this connector to attach the drive to your computer via USB.
4. eSATA Connector. Use this connector to attach the drive to your computer via eSATA.
5. RAID Mode Switch. Refer to the Configuring the RAID Mode section below.
WARNING: Changing RAID mode will delete all data on the drive. Do not
change the setting of the RAID Mode Switch unless you have first saved all of
the data from the drive to another storage location.

About the Hard Drive
The product comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format allows for operation with
either Windows or Mac OS.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes/1 GB = 1,000,000,000
bytes/1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Some capacity used for pre-loaded software,
formatting and other functions, and thus is not available for data storage. As a result,
and due to differing calculation methods, your operating systems may report as fewer
megabytes/gigabytes/terabytes.
Locating the Drive on Your Desk
Place the drive on a sturdy desk or table that is free from clutter that could block airflow
around the unit. Take care not to block any air vents.
Configuring the RAID Mode
This Verbatim external 2-disk RAID product can be set to one of three operating modes.
The factory default setting is Concatenation (also called Spanning). The switch setting for
Concatenation mode is labeled “BIG”. If Concatenation is your desired mode, then you
can jump to the next section of the manual since no further configuration is required.
WARNING: Changing RAID mode will delete all data on the drive. Do not change the
setting of the RAID Mode Switch unless you have first saved all of the data from the drive
to another storage location.
RAID 0 (also called Striping) distributes data across both disks in a way which can
improve throughput, while retaining full capacity. However, in case of possible failure
of either disk, all data will be lost and the array will no longer mount to your computer.
