Frequently Asked Questions - CAMYSAFEDUALM2 i-TEC

How to install M.2 SSDs in the CAMYSAFEDUALM2 enclosure?

Slide the internal part of the panel. Insert the M.2 SSDs by aligning the notch of the disk with the connector notch. Screw the disks onto the opposite side of the base plate. Set the RAID matrix as needed, then slide the assembly into the frame and screw it in. Attach the rubber feet under the frame. Connect the cable and set the ON/OFF switch to ON.

How to configure the RAID matrix?

Use the RAID matrix selector located on the enclosure. Four options are available: RAID 0 (disk striping, high speed but data loss if a disk fails), JBOD separate disks (two independent disks), JBOD total capacity (single volume with total capacity), and RAID 1 (mirroring, no data loss if a disk fails). Caution: changing RAID mode erases all data.

What to do if the computer does not detect the enclosure?

Check that the USB cable is properly connected and the ON/OFF switch is ON. Try another USB port. If the problem persists, disconnect the enclosure, press the reset button for 5 seconds, then reconnect. Make sure the disks are correctly inserted and screwed in.

What is the difference between RAID 0 and JBOD total capacity?

RAID 0 writes data simultaneously to both disks (striping) for high speed, but if a disk fails, all data is lost. JBOD total capacity combines both disks into one logical volume: data is written first to the first disk, then to the second, with no speed increase or protection.

Why doesn't my new disk appear in Windows Explorer?

New disks need to be initialized and formatted. Right-click 'This PC' > 'Manage' > 'Disk Management'. If the disk shows as 'Unallocated', right-click and choose 'Initialize Disk' (GPT or MBR). Then create a new simple volume and format it (preferably NTFS). The disk will then be visible.

Can I use a single M.2 disk in the enclosure?

Yes, by selecting JBOD separate disks mode, each inserted disk is recognized independently. If you insert only one disk, it will be seen as a single disk.

The enclosure gets very hot, is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. The surface of the enclosure may become hot during operation. This allows heat dissipation from the disks and electronics. Do not cover the enclosure and ensure good ventilation.

How to power the enclosure with an external source?

If the enclosure is not sufficiently powered by the USB-C port (e.g., with power-hungry disks), connect an external 5V power supply (not included) to the dedicated connector on the enclosure.

Which cables are included in the package?

The package contains: one USB-C cable 45 cm, one USB-C to USB 3.0 cable 45 cm, a screwdriver, screws, rubber pads, and the user guide.

How to reset the RAID matrix?

Disconnect the enclosure from the computer. Press the reset button for 5 seconds. Reconnect the enclosure. The RAID matrix will be reset. Caution: this operation erases all data on the disks.

RAID CONTROLLER SWITCH SLOT 1

M.2 DISK HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Proceed according to the following instructions:

1. Put out the inner part with the motherboard.
2. Insert M.2 disks so that the slot in the disk complied with the slot on the M.2 connector. Afterwards screw the M.2 disks on the contrary side to the motherboard.
3. Set the RAID field - see article "RAID field setting".
4. Put this set back in the case and screw it from the bottom part.
5. Glue legs on the bottom side of the case.
6. Connect the USB-C or USB-C/A cable to the case and to the computer.
7. Switch-over the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
8. Detection and automatic installation will be performed.
9. Now the device is ready for use.

1. At the switch, select one of four options of connection of the disks in dependence on the need of use.

A) Raid 0 – stripping/sum of disks, writing to the both simultaneously, interlaced (flash the both LED). A benefit is a high writing/reading speed. Attention: In case of a failure of one of the disks, all data will be lost
B) JBOD/separate disks – There is reported as two separate disks in the system (flashes LED depending on a disk to which the record is being performed)
C) JBOD/disks capacity sum – There is reported as one disk with a capacity of the sum of the inserted disks (consecutive writing to one and afterwards to the second disk, LED flashes depending on a disk to which the record is being performed)
D) Raid 1 - Mirroring (both LEDs flash at writing, in case of reading - just one). In case of a failure of one of the disks, data will not be lost.
2. While the case is connected and switched-on, push the Reset button for 5 seconds. The RAID field will be readjusted.
3. Format the disks.

POWER SUPPLY

In case that the case is not sufficiently powered by means of a USB-C port, we recommend that you connect an extern 5V power source (it is not a part of the package).

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Windows 7/8/8.1/10 32/64bit or macOS 10.x and higher

At connection of the device to a computer, detection and automatic installation of the drivers from the system will be performed.

Remarks: At operation, the case surface can be heated up. This is a usual operating feature and is not a defect. This way, the electronics are being cooled. We recommend that you not cover the case by things.

Remarks: For correct function of the device, firstly it is necessary to format the new disk Proceed according to the below mentioned instructions. As far as the disk was earlier used, then this might not be a necessity. By formatting, you will always lose your already saved data.

Remark: We recommend that you save essential or valuable data on more than one disks or other recording media.

NEW HDD FORMATTING

1. Click the right mouse button on "My Computer".
2. Select "Manage"
3. Click on "Disks Management"
4. Select HDD described as "Unallocated" or "Uninitialized" with a specified capacity of the inserted disk (usually, a number with a few digit values lower is being displayed).
5. As far as the disk is not initialized, click the right mouse button on the left field and select "Initialize Disk".
6. Click the right mouse button on the disk area and select "New Simple Bunch", click on "Next".
7. Leave the bunch size on the maximum and click on "Next"
8. Select "Allocate a Letter to the Unit" and click on "Next".
9. Select "Format the Bunch with the Following Setting" (leave the initial setting). Click on "Next" and "Finish".
10. HDD formatting will be performed. The formatting time depends on the HDD size. Afterwards the HDD is visible in the system.
