SAFE REMOVAL OF THE RAID SYSTEM
Safe removal of the RAID System from the host controller requires the steps.
First, you would need to eject the device from your host controller. Next, press
the “off” button on the RAID System if necessary.
Most current USB host controllers handle USB devices as external devices;
thus, it is highly recommended that the RAID System be safely removed from the
host if you use USB interface. However if you use eSATA interface, the host,
depending on the eSATA controller, may handle external eSATA HDD devices
as internal HDD devices, if so, safe removal of the RAID System from the host is
unnecessary.

The difference between a flashing LED and a blinking LED is that flashing
refers to the read/write activity, and blinking refers to slow but regular pulses.
