Using Your Drive
RAID 1 Degraded Mode and Rebuild for Windows
If your G-RAID is in RAID 1 configuration and either a single drive failure occurs
or if a member of the RAID 1 set is removed, then the active drive will operate
in degraded mode.
What is Degraded Mode?
In a two-drive RAID 1 array, if one of the drives fails or if one
of the drives is removed then the active drive keeps the user data intact but without any
fail-safe mechanism until the RAID array is rebuilt. This state of operation is called de-
graded mode.
To rebuild the RAID 1 set, please insert a new drive in place of the failed drive or the
drive that has been removed. If this new drive is not formatted then the Disk Utility
function will automatically launch and you can format the drive. If this replacement drive
is formatted then you are ready to rebuild the RAID set. To see how to replace a failed
drive, please refer to the section
Replace a Failed Drive Module .
G-RAID has auto rebuild feature built into it. Once you insert a formatted replacement
disk the RAID 1 will start rebuilding automatically. Total rebuild time is dependent on the
total capacity of each drive. The rebuild time is approximately two hours per terabyte.
