Page 5: Installing The Raid Utility
If a drive fails, all data on the DriveStation is lost. If you’re willing to trade some performance for better data security, Buffalo Technology recommends RAID 5 mode, with its excellent balance of security and total capacity. You may change your RAID configuration with the RAID Utility. - Page 6 Double-click the RaidSetting icon on your desktop. Once launched, the RAID utility will briefly scan for your DriveStation Quattro. This may take a few seconds. The initial screen will show your current configuration. If your Quattro is new, it will probably be in RAID 0 mode, with all four disks in one high-performance partition.
- Page 7 Using the RAID Utility Select the drive structure that you’d like to use. Click OK, Yes, and Yes. Understand that this will erase any data on the drive! After changing the RAID mode, you will need to use the Disk Utility to format the new partition.

Page 8: Drive Select
If four separate drives are not desired, use RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 5 instead of “Normal” (JBOD) mode. You may switch between RAID modes with the RAID utility during installation. The utility may also be installed or run from your DriveNavigator CD. If you’ve changed the Quattro’s RAID mode to normal (JBOD) mode with the RAID setting utility, disconnect the Quattro from the computer. -
