Encrypting Drives

If Encryption is selected during formatting, the drive will be encrypted with 128-bit AES. The data on the drive will

be accessible only when the drive is attached to the TeraStation, and not other devices. To unencrypt the hard drive,

uncheck Encryption and format the drive again. Refer to the previous page for more information.

Note:

Encrypting a drive degrades its overall performance somewhat.

Dismounting a Drive

Before removing a drive from the TeraStation, dismount the drive. Follow the instructions below to dismount the drive.

Note:

Repeatedly dismounting and/or removing drives is not recommended. Only dismount and remove drives if you have a

good reason for doing so.

The Conrm Operation screen will appear. Type in the conrmation number and click Apply within 60 seconds.

Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

It’s now safe to physically remove the hard drive.

1 In Settings, navigate to Basic - Storage - Disks.

2 Select the drive you want to remove, and click Remove Disk.
