RAID Configuration Utility for Windows
The RAID Configurator is used to change the RAID level of your G-RAID with
Thunderbolt. You can use any of the two Thunderbolt 2 ports on your G-RAID with
Thunderbolt with the RAID Configurator application. To configure G-RAID with
Thunderbolt, it will need to be the only device connected to your computer.
The RAID Configurator utility is available for download from the G-Technology website
at

.
Once you have downloaded the RAID Configurator .zip file you need to extract the
folder which contains the RAID configuration .exe file and a .dll file. Click on the .exe file
and follow the simple instructions to install the configuration utility.
Configure the RAID Mode for Windows
You can easily configure G-RAID with Thunderbolt’s RAID mode with the following steps.
Important Note:
Changing the RAID level will erase all data on the drive. Be sure all of
the data and files you want to save are backed up to separate media.
1. In the G-RAID with Thunderbolt Configuration Utility, click on the
Configure
button.
A dialog window will pop up with three options for configuring your disk set, as
shown on the next page. The dialog window also will warn you that when you
configure your RAID set, all data in the drive will be erased.

RAID Configuration Utility. The tool shows
the current status and other details of the
drive similar to the image to the right.
