Encrypting Drives
Internal drives (and arrays) can be encrypted with 128-bit AES during formatting. Encrypted drives and arrays are then
readable only from that specific TeraStation. To unencrypt a drive or array, uncheck “Encryption” and format it again.
Media Cartridges
If configured as a media cartridge, an internal drive can be used as a removable storage device in the same way as an
external drive. Media cartridges can be unplugged and connected to a different TeraStation with all data intact.
To configure a drive as a media cartridge, check “Media Cartridge” during formatting. To return it to its original state,
uncheck “Media Cartridge” and reformat the drive.
Media cartridges do not support:
• RAID arrays
• LVM volumes
• Access restrictions
• Direct connection to a Windows computer
Notes:
• Don’t configure the boot drives (drives 1 and 2) as media cartridges.
• Configure media cartridges from the bottom drive up. For example, if your TeraStation has 4 drives, make drive 4
a media cartridge first, then drive 3 next.
• If the TeraStation fails to boot after drive 1 or 2 is replaced, remove any media cartridges, then replace them after
the TeraStation has booted.
Erase Data on the TeraStation Completely
Under some circumstances, data from formatted drives can be recovered. The disk erasure process in this section does
