Maintenance for Your Drive
4. If G-RAID with Thunderbolt was set up in RAID 1 mode, the unit will begin rebuilding data on
the drive. During this process, the activity LED will indicate data access. The rebuild time is
approximately two hours per terabyte.
5. Once the rebuild process is complete, G-RAID with Thunderbolt is back to normal and once
again protecting your valuable data. Furthermore, the drive LED light will return to a solid
white light visually indicating a healthy RAID 1 set.
Helpful Tips
You can continue using G-RAID with Thunderbolt even while the drive volume is being rebuilt.
However, it will run at a slower data rate.
It is good practice to keep at least one spare drive module on hand in case of a drive failure. That
way, you can rebuild your array in hours rather than wait days for a new one to ship. Additional
spare drive modules can be purchased on our web site at
