2.2 Usage Notes
- If there is no active data connection, the LEDs will not function.
- When there is an active data connection and the Drive Dock is powered on, the LEDs will
show blue for power and pink for drive activity. A red LED indicates the bay is powered on
but no drive has been detected.
- To power on a drive, press and release the corresponding power button. To power off a
drive, press and hold the power button for three seconds.
- To safely remove your drive(s) and to ensure that no data is lost, always eject or unmount
the drive(s) from your operating system before powering off the drive(s).
- When you use the power switch on the back of the Drive Dock to shut off power, the next
time you switch the power on, neither drive bay will receive power. You will need to press
the power button for the drive(s) you want to use during that session.
- The two drives operate completely independent of one another.
- You can unmount, power off, and remove one drive without affecting the other drive.
- This device is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 3 host ports.
- RAID configurations are not recommended.
