OWC Mercury Rack Pro mini-SAS Chapter 3 - Formatting
➇ If you like, you can specify the 
drive letter designation for your 
new drive. Otherwise, one will 
automatically be assigned. Click 
“Next.”
➈ Before you can use the 
drive, it must be format-
ted. On most systems 
running Windows 2000 
or later, it is advisable to 
specify the le system as 
NTFS. Leave the Allocation 
unit size as “Default,” and 
feel free to give the drive 
whatever name you prefer. 
Be sure to check the box 
“Perform a quick format”. 
If you do not, it will likely 
take several hours for your drive to format. Click “Next.”
➉ At the end of the 
Wizard, you will see a 
summary of the informa-
tion that you specied 
during the previous 
steps. Click “Finish.”
