4.2 Software Installation and RAID Configuration

Upon initial connection, your operating system may prompt you to install necessary drivers or software. It is recommended to install the LaCie Toolkit software to manage the device, including RAID configuration.

UVAMIZI 0 (Kupigwa): Optimizes for maximum speed and capacity. Data is spread across both drives, offering faster read/write performance. If one drive fails, all data is lost.
RAID 1 (Kuakisi): Optimizes for data redundancy. Data is duplicated on both drives. If one drive fails, data remains accessible on the other. Capacity is halved.

Use the LaCie Toolkit's step-by-step wizard to configure your preferred RAID level. This process will erase all data on the drives, so ensure no critical data is present before proceeding.
