ROCSECURE – Rocsafe MX User Manual

5.1 Setting up a new drive

To set up a new hard drive, you have to partition and format it. Follow your operating system’s instructions on how

to do so, or refer to Section 8.1 Partitioning and formatting your hard drive.

5.2 Setting up an existing drive

No additional steps are required to set up a previously formatted hard drive. The drive will be recognized by the

operating system and may be accessed as per normal.

Note:

• When using an existing drive, ensure that the drive’s file system is compatible with your

Operating System.

• Rocsafe MX provides data-at-rest protection. After successful authentication, data in the

drive can be access as per normal usage. For maximum security, do not leave Rocsafe MX

connected in authenticated mode while you are away from your computer.

As with any other storage solution, please ensure that you make regular backups of your data

to protect against possible data loss.
