Erasing the Device Drives
Note:
Erasing your device drives also deletes the WD software and all of the
support files, utilities, and user manual files. You can download these to
restore your device to its original configuration after erasing the drives.
(See Knowledge Base answer ID 7 at
ttp://support.wd.com
for
information about downloading and restoring the WD software and disk
image.)
CAUTION!
Erasing the device drives permanently deletes all of the data on both drives
in RAID array configurations, and on the selected drive in JBOD configurations. Always
back up the data on the device drives before erasing them.
