open the Disk Utility program. Once Disk Utility is open, you are ready to initialize

RAID 1 Degraded Mode and Rebuild for Mac
If your G-RAID Studio is in RAID 1 conguration 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, 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 is rebuilt. This state of operation is called degraded
mode.
1. If the G-RAID Studio is operating in degraded mode, if the G-RAID Conguration
Utility is launched, then the RAID status will show as degraded in the information
window as shown in the image below.
