Mac WD Drive Manager hangs while rebuilding the My Book Premium II RAID array
July 15th, 2009
Why does my WD My Book Premium II drive crash when I try to rebuild the RAID array?
Problem:
The Mac WD Drive Manager crashes when trying to rebuild the RAID array on the My Book Premium II external hard drive.
Cause:
Appears to be an issue with Mac 10.5 and 1394 Firewire. There are no known issues with Mac 10.4.x or USB.
Solution:
Connect the drive to the USB port, and re-run the WD Drive Manager to reconfigure the RAID to the desired array.
