As I recall, the LaCie disks did not require initializing when I got them. I think they mounted right up, so I began using them as is.
I did sort of "test" the SmartUpdate Scheduler --after having dragged and dropped files to get all the disks current with each other. I had removed some files and added some files from one of the drives, as a test. The SmartUpdate Scheduler removed files that should have been removed and added files that should have been added.
However, I do want to be sure I'm doing things properly, so I'll definitely review the SmartUpdate info.
Thank you for the additional cautions.
