User questions & answers

Question:	Is this 4tb in raid or two 2tb ssds internally
Answer:	Seems like you can purchase the case with or without drives installed, but the intention is two 2TB drives that may be run RAID 0 striped as a fast 4TB but perhaps higher failure probability, as RAID 1 which is 2TB with a redundant copy, or as JBOD which would shore up as two separate 2TB drives. There's a small dip switch on the back to set followed by a button press to change the drive's mode. I'm running it as RAID 0 right now for a fast 4 TB which has worked well so far.
Question:	Will this enclosure work with one drive installed and second bay left empty? Thank you
Answer:	Yes.
Question:	will this work with windows 10 pro as independent drives not raid? will this have to be formatted on arrival
Answer:	yes, it can, Not sure as I did format it, but if you do you can do a quick format, takes a min or two
Question:	Does it support no raid mode
Answer:	Yes. Set it up for JBOD (just a bunch of disks) and the drives will function as independent drives.
