settings from that drive, so be sure to back up any important data before formatting a drive.

Formatting will take several minutes. During the formatting process, other volumes or drives on the TeraStation will not

be accessible. Do not turn o the TeraStation while formatting.

After a successful drive format, you must create a partition and format it from within the operating system. A link to “Disk

Note:

If you select Encryption, the drive will be encrypted with 128-bit AES. The

be accessed if attached to another device). If encryption is enabled, data

recovery services will not be able to recover data from a damaged disk. To

unencrypt the drive, uncheck Encryption and format it again.
