these steps to reinitialize if you would like to quickly erase the contents of the drive.

be displayed in the left column.
2. Select G-RAID by clicking its drive icon in the left column. Information about the
drive will be displayed at the bottom of the window.
3. Select the Erase tab to view the formatting options. By default, the Format pop-up
menu is set to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option.
