Mac OS

For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create

partitions on your external disk.

If the drive does not

appear on the

desktop, make sure

there are no

extension conflicts

and the power is

turned on!

• Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder

• Choose your external drive and format it according to your

requirement

For Mac OS X, we recommend formatting the drive using the

native Mac file system HFS+ also known as Mac OS Extended.

If you want to use your drive on a PC running Microsoft

Windows as well as on your Mac, we recommend you to use

the FAT32 file system. On your Mac, select MS-DOS when

formatting it. Note: The file size for a single file on FAT32 is

limited to 4GB.

If the JBOD or RAID mode is enabled, you will only see one

large drive instead of two separate hard drives.
