ABOUT YOUR WD DRIVE – 3

About Your WD Drive

Format and Configuration

My Book Premium Edition II is preformatted for Windows (NTFS) and is

pre-configured for RAID 0 (Striped) mode for maximum capacity and accelerated

performance. This product also supports RAID 1 (Mirrored) mode for data protection

with instantaneous and automatic data updates. For more information on this product

including instructions on changing the RAID configuration or drive format, see section

4 for Windows or section 5 for Mac.

LED Indicators

The Power/Activity and Capacity Gauge LEDs are two concentric rings on the front

panel of the drive. The outer ring is the Power/Activity LED and the inner ring is the

Capacity Gauge LED.

Power/Activity LED

Capacity Gauge

The Capacity Gauge (inner LED) consists of six sections which illuminate in a

clockwise direction to indicate space used on the drive. Each section represents

approximately 17 percent of disk space. Because this drive is preformatted and

contains software and utilities, the first section is illuminated upon installation. The

Capacity Gauge is enabled only through installation of its driver from the CD, which

must be installed on each system to which My Book is connected.

Capacity Gauge Activity

The Capacity Gauge is updated automatically upon drive usage. In Windows, you can

manually update the Capacity Gauge by right-clicking the Button Manager icon in the

system tray then click outside the pop-up menu to close it.
