On Saturday May 7, between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., there will be a systems upgrade to provide an updated version of the storage functions on workstation computers throughout campus during which the ‘Home’ drive will be unavailable. This can include Macs, Windows, and others that are not on the Wright State domain.

After this upgrade, the ‘Home’ drive will be accessible only through shared.wright.edu.
