Safety & General Use
Backup Your Data
The disk drive contained in your G-RAID Studio device is a delicate electronic instrument
and is susceptible to damage from excessive physical shock. Under no circumstances will
G-Technology be held liable for the recovery or restoration of lost data. Any loss, corruption,
or destruction of data while using a G-Technology drive is the sole responsibility of the user.
Make Two Backups
To help prevent possible data loss, we highly recommend keeping TWO copies of your data
in separate storage locations. Keep one copy on your G-Technology drive. Keep a second
copy on an internal hard drive, another G-Technology drive, or a form of removable and/or
online storage media. If possible, it is advisable to keep your data in two physically disparate
locations for added safety.

About Your G-RAID
Activity & Failure LEDs
G-RAID Studio contains a drive activity LED integrated into each removable disk under the
top lid and an illuminated G logo on the front panel to indicate the following operations
and enclosure statuses:
• System initialization
• System ready – HDD Idle
• Disk activity – HDD Read/Write
• Disk drive failure
This table explains the meaning of each combination of LEDs on the drive:
In the event of a disk drive failure, the front panel’s G logo will glow RED. At the same
time, the LED located near the faulty drive will turn from BLUE to RED. To replace the
faulty drive, please refer to the section Replace a Failed Drive Module.
• If congured in fail-safe RAID 1 (Protected) mode, data stored on the G-RAID Studio
will still be intact.
• If congured in JBOD mode, only the data on the faulty drive will be lost, but the
remaining data on the working drive will be intact.
• If congured in RAID 0 (Performance) mode, all data is at risk of being lost. Please
contact our Technical Support for help if the drive failure LED indicator is lit.
