Frequently Asked Questions - GR8680-TB3 Raidon

How do I set up RAID on the GR8680-TB3?

Use the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) software. Connect the unit via Thunderbolt, install MSU from Raidon's website, then log in and navigate to Operation > Create Array. Select the drives, choose RAID level (e.g., RAID 5), stripe size, name, and submit. After creation, initialize and format the virtual disk in your OS.

Can I use different brands or capacities of hard drives?

For best performance and RAID stability, use drives of the same brand, model, and capacity. If mixing is unavoidable, the RAID volume will use the capacity of the smallest drive. For RAID 5, total capacity = (7 * smallest drive). Replacing a failed drive should match the original specs or be at least 20 GB larger.

What should I do if the fan alarm goes off?

The alarm indicates a fan failure or overheating. Press the mute button at the rear to silence the alarm. Check for blockages and ensure proper ventilation. If the problem persists, power off and contact Raidon support.

Is the GR8680-TB3 compatible with Windows and macOS?

Yes, it works with both. On Windows, you may need to approve the Thunderbolt device via the taskbar icon. On macOS, install the Marvell Storage Utility (MSU) and, for High Sierra or later, approve the kernel extension in Security & Privacy.

How do I connect multiple monitors?

Use the Thunderbolt port for host connection and the Mini DisplayPort for a monitor. For dual monitors, connect one monitor to the Thunderbolt B port and another to the Mini DisplayPort. The Thunderbolt port also supports daisy-chaining to other Thunderbolt or USB devices.

What is the maximum capacity supported?

There is no specified maximum per drive. The unit supports up to 8 SATA drives of any capacity. The total usable capacity depends on the RAID mode and drive sizes.

How do I format the drives after RAID creation?

After creating a virtual disk in MSU, open Disk Utility (macOS) or Disk Management (Windows). You'll see the new RAID volume. Erase/format it with your preferred file system (e.g., Mac OS Extended, NTFS) and partition scheme.

Can I use the GR8680-TB3 without RAID?

Yes, set it to JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) mode in MSU. Each drive will appear individually and can be used independently.

What does the status indicator light mean?

Blue light always on: system ready. Blue flashing: data access. Purple flashing: RAID failed, HDD failure, fan failure, or overheating. Red light on HDD tray: no HDD detected or error. Refer to the manual for the full status table.

How do I safely disconnect the GR8680-TB3?

Always eject the drive from your operating system (e.g., right-click and 'Safely Remove' on Windows, drag to Trash on macOS) before turning off or unplugging the unit to prevent data loss.

3. Hardware Requirements and Precautions

1. Only one interface connection may be used at once per computer system.
2. RAID volume formation utilizes the capacity of whichever hard drive has the smallest and then multiply that capacity by seven for RAID 5, eight for RAID 0, to form a large volume, therefore, it is recommended to only install hard drives of the same brand and specification for all drive position prior to use. Moreover, when you need to replace with a new hard drive, please be sure to purchase one with the same specification, capacity and brand. If these conditions can't be met, select one that's at least 20 GB greater in capacity.
3. The actual storage capacity of GR8680-TB3 recognized by the system may differ from the total capacity stated on the hard drives once the drives have been formatted.
4. Since GR8680-TB3 will delete all data files in your HDDs/SSDs at its first-time use, please be informed that you shall first save all your personal data files into a safe memory space before starting setting your new GR8680-TB3 to avoid any data loss during your start-up process.
5. Please make sure that the hard drives are free from bad blocks or defects prior to installation in order to avoid system crashes or data loss.

6. Whenever turning off or unplugging your GR8680-TB3 from your computer system, please always remember to safely remove it from your operating system first.

7. When your GR8680-TB3 connects to the computer system, please do not remove, insert or even swap any hard drive while data transfer is being performed.

8. It's prohibited to change the positioning of the drives once the initial installation has been completed as the changes made to the drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
9. A WARNING to you if you plan to delete or switch your original RAID setting: If you plan to delete or switch your original RAID setting, please always duplicate your personal data before deleting or changing it.
10. In RAID 5 mode, the system allows one single hard drive failure. If multiple drive failures occur at once, it's likely that all data stored in the system have been destroyed or lost. In RAID 0 mode, if one hard drive failure occurs, then all data may be destroyed or lost.
11. Whenever turning off or unplugging the GR8680-TB3 from your computer system becomes necessary, always remember to safely remove it from your operating system first.
12. While the In-chassis temperature reaches up to 55 degree-C (131 degree-F), in order to get rid of the heat efficiently, your GR8680-TB3 will turn fan parts to full speed automatically.

And once the In-chassis temperature drops down to 50 degree-C (122 degree-F), you could then set fan speed at Fan Speed Switch manually to reduce its fan noise for a better green environment at both of a lower fan noise and the power saving.

1. It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the GR8680-TB3 unit on a regular basis or whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device. RAIDON will not be responsible for any lost of data caused during the use of the unit or the recovery of the data lost.

4. Hardware Installation

Please follow the steps below to complete the hardware installation process:

Step 1 When you open the package, please immediately check the product and included parts for any damage or missing parts. If there is a problem with the product or included parts please contact your supplier immediately.
Step 2 Place the device on a flat, even surface. Make sure that the cooling fan is not blocked and there is sufficient surrounding space for cooling. (Keep away from water or other environments that may cause product damage)
Step 3 Please insert the key included with the parts pack into the keyhole to release the HDD enclosure handle and remove the HDD enclosure.
Step 4 Place the hard disk in the HDD enclosure and secure it in place with the included screws; this will prevent damage to the hard disk from external vibration.

Note: Please avoid using hard disk drives from different manufacturers or different models from the same manufacturer as this may impact system performance.

Step 5 Once the hard disk is installed, slide the enclosure into the system and close the handle.

Step 6 Select the appropriate cable from the accessories pack depending on the interface. Connect the GR4670-TB3 backplate connection port to the corresponding port on the computer.

Step 7 Connect the AC Power cable to the GR4670-TB3. Plug the connector into the power socket then start the system.

Step 8 Your operating system will automatically detect available capacity once the device finishes booting. Once the device has been detected, please follow instructions given by the operating system and format the system. Once the hard disk has been formatted, the GR4670-TB3 system can be used.

Step 9 If the computer is unable to detect the system, please install the drivers from official website - Download page (http://www.RAIDON.com.tw/RAIDON2016/download.php).

5. Troubleshooting Fan Errors

If the alarm indicator has lit up red and the audio alarm sounds, this could mean that either a system fan has stopped operating entirely. When this occurs, you may press the mute button at the rear of the system to shut off the audio alarm and power off the system immediately if in the allowed operational state to let the system cool. Check and see if the overall operation environment is well ventilated and make sure there are no blockages to the enclosed fan and then re-power on the system to continue use. If the problem persists, please turn off the system and contact your supplier or the RAIDON tech support for further assistance.

6. The MSU, and easy RAID configurator
