The Phase One Secure Storage system (3S) provides the
industriy’s safest memory card handling ever.
When working with memory cards in a Phase One P+ back, you
can always be sure that your data is safe.
The 3S technology is automatically checking your cards file
structure every time it is inserted to the P+ back.
If the disk check function finds errors on the card, it will prevent
usage of the card until these are corrected or the card is
formatted.
(Please see detailed description of Secure Storage Sytem on
page 106 of this manual).

In General all CF-cards or microdrives comes preformmatted
and ready to use in the P+ backs.
However to ensure the best performance from these cards it is
to be considered best practice to always format them in the P+
back.
Please consult the "Format Disk" explanation in chapter 9 of this
reference manual on how to format a memory card in the P+
back.
Formatting of the memory card is done in either FAT 16 or FAT
32 depending on card size, and if the formatting is done in the
P+ back cluster sizes on the disk is set for best performance.
It is however also possible to format the cards on either Mac
or Windows, this is explained in the following sections of this
chapter.
