G-RAID2 FW 800 drive
I’m a Mac newbie. Just bought a MacBookPro to edit Final Cut Studio.
I have also bought a g RAID 2 FW external drive for editing, capturing video.Does anyone here have one? How is it installed to the Mac?
The G-Tech site says it’s pretty strightforward, but just want
to check with other users. Do I need to “partition” the drive?
This is the part that worries me, I don’t know how to do that.Can someone help, advise, on how to install a GRaid2 FW drive
to MacBook Pro?
thank you. -

Just connect it to your FW800 port and turn it on.
It will mount right up on your desktop, though you should give it a clean erase from your system.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Select the G-RAID Drive. Select Erase. Select Mac OS Extended, NOT journaled. Select OK. Select OK again when it says you’re about to erase everything.
We were using a brand new G-RAID2 1000 last week, but stopped using it after finding performance issue with a second FW800 drive attached to it. Also the speed on the G-RAID2 was slower than the original G-RAID 500 and 800 that we also run.
As long as you run it by itself, you should be fine.
