NOTE: 

Though your product is preconfigured to RAID 1, it is also capable of 

being configured to RAID 0 (striped). In RAID 0 mode, the read/write speed 
of your unit will be increased, and the total capacity will be equal to the sum 
of the two hard drives inside. However, your data will not be mirrored as in 
RAID 1. Total data loss can occur if either drive fails.

If you wish to configure your product to RAID 0, please email 
[email protected] for assistance.
