Identifying Drives
Blackmagic MultiDock has 4 independent drive bays. We recommend naming or renaming your
drives so you can easily identify them. You can name your drives when formatting using the
Disk Utility application on Mac OS, or Windows Disk Management on Windows. Renaming your
drive is as easy as right clicking on your drive in Mac OS Finder or Windows File Explorer. It’s
also helpful to physically label your drives so you can visually identify the drive in each
drive bay.
You can easily rename your drives using Finder
in Mac OS or Windows File Explorer
