RAID Configuration Utility for Windows
The G-Technology RAID Configurator is used to change the RAID level of your G-RAID
Studio. You can use any of the two Thunderbolt 2 ports in your G-RAID Studio with the
RAID Configurator application. To configure G-RAID Studio, it will need to be the only
device connected to your computer.
The RAID Configurator utility is available for download from the G-Technology website
at g-technology.com/support.
Once you have downloaded the RAID Configurator .zip file you need to extract the
folder which contains the RAID configuration .exe file and a .dll file. Click on the .exe file
and follow the simple instructions to install the configuration utility.
Once you install and launch the RAID Configuration Utility the tool shows the current
status and other details of the drive similar to the diagram below.

window will pop up with three options for configuring your disk set, as shown
