Maintenance for Your Drive
4. If your G-RAID Studio was set up in RAID 1 mode, then the RAID Utility software
will ENABLE the Rebuild button and you can rebuild your RAID set using the steps
described in the section RAID 1 Degraded Mode and Rebuild. The total rebuild time
is approximately three hours per terabyte for 6TB drives and betweed four to six
hours for 3TB or 4TB drives.
5. Once the rebuild is complete, G-RAID Studio will be back to protecting your valu-
able data and displaying a solid white “G” to show that all is well.
6. If your G-RAID Studio was setup in RAID 0 mode, then you have to build a new
RAID 0 set using the newly introduced drive.
Helpful Tips
You can continue using G-RAID Studio even while the drive volume is being rebuilt.
However, it will run at a slower data rate.
To maximize productivity and safety, G-Technology recommends keeping at least one
spare drive module on hand in case of a disk failure. This way, you can rebuild your ar-
ray in hours rather than wait days for a new module to arrive.
