Maintenance for Your Drive
Initialize Drive for Mac
G-RAID Studio is factory-formatted for use, or “initialized,” for the Mac OS. You can reini-
tialize if you would like to quickly erase the contents of the drive. Here are the neces-
sary steps.
1. First, open the Disk Utility application. Disk Utility is located on your system under
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. The window below will appear. Your G-RAID
Studio will be displayed in the left-hand column.
2. Select the G-RAID Studio by clicking its drive icon in the left column. Information
about the drive will be displayed at the bottom of the window.
3. Select the Erase tab to view formatting options. The Format pop-up menu defaults
to the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option.
