Drive Format

My Book Live Duo is a dual-drive system that is pre-configured as a

spanned drive. Spanning combines all the drives in a system into one

big volume so they act like one giant drive. My Book Live Duo also

supports RAID 1 (Mirrored) mode for data protection. Half of the

capacity is used to store your data and half is used for a duplicate copy.

If one drive fails in RAID 1, the system will still run, and your data will be

preserved. You can replace the failed drive and restore the system. See

the full user manual on your My Book Live Duo for more information on

how to manage RAID.

Important: See the user manual located on the My Book Live Duo

under \\MyBookLiveDuo\Public\Software.

Important: For highest performance and reliability, it is

recommended that you install the latest updates and service pack

(SP). For Windows, go to the Start or menu and select Windows

Update. For Mac, go to the Apple menu and select Software

Update.
