2. Connect the 2big USB 3.0 to your computer
using a USB 3.0 cable.
Note: If your computer does not have a USB 3.0 interface, you can connect the included
USB 3.0 cable to a USB 2.0 port. Please note that using a USB 2.0 port will limit transfer
rates to USB 2.0 speeds. To take advantage of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfer rates, you
may add a USB 3.0 PCI-Express card (desktop computer) or a USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34
(portable). For more information, visit www.lacie.com/accessories.
Note: The 2big USB 3.0 will turn on automatically when the interface cable is
connected to a computer that has been powered on, and off when disconnected.
You may push the button on the face of the drive to turn the 2big USB 3.0 on.
Pressing and holding the button will turn it off.
3. The LaCie 2big USB 3.0 comes with two 3.5” SATA II hard disks installed,
preformatted in NTFS and RAID 0.
Note: Since the drives are preformatted in NTFS, Mac users may choose to reformat the
2big USB 3.0 in Mac OS Extended (HFS+) for optimal performance. Please see the User
Manual for further information on how to reformat your drive.
Note: The drives are shipped in RAID 0. If you would like to change the RAID mode, see
Changing the RAID Mode on the next page.
Note: The drive status LEDs on the rear of the 2big USB 3.0 will blink with disk activity.
See the User Manual for more information on LED behavior.
CAUTION:
• Reformatting the 2big USB 3.0 is the last step for modifying the RAID. Please back up
all data before following the steps below.
The two disk trays must be in place before the RAID mode can be modied.
Note: See the User Manual for information on RAID modes.
1. Unmount the 2big USB 3.0 volumes from your computer and disconnect the
interface cable.
2. The 2big USB 3.0 must be turned on to change the level
of RAID. Attach the power cable if it is disconnected.
Switch on the 2big USB 3.0 by pressing the front LED
button. The front LED will blink as the RAID boots. It will
become solid blue when ready.
3. Use the 2-in-1 tool to move the RAID selection switch
to the left (RAID 0 - FAST), center (JBOD), or right
(RAID 1 - SAFE).
4. Use the 2-in-1 tool to push the RAID confirmation
button to validate the level of RAID. The front LED
will blink as the 2big USB 3.0 rebuilds the level of
RAID you have chosen. When the front LED turns
solid blue, move to step 5.
5. Reattach the interface cable to your computer and
format the RAID. Please refer to the User Manual
for more information on formatting.
