completed as the changes made to the drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the update is 

guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.

power supply. It mainly to extend the Notebook's usage time. Take Macbook Pro 13" as an 

example, the original power supply is 60W, assuming it take 2 hours for it to fully charge the 

battery , use GR5640-SB31+ might need three times time. Therefore, if user need to use 

Notebook for a long time, it is recommended to connect the original power supply first before 

connect GR5640-SB31+.

necessary, always remember to safely remove it from your operating system first.
