USB Settings
USB Disk Setup:
The USB Disk setup options
specifies if an attached USB Disk is to
be used as a shared folder. Using it as
a shared folder increases the capacity of
LinkStation. Selecting the
Disable
option
makes it impossible to make the USB Disk
drive a shared folder. However, if set to
Disable
, the USB Disk will still be available
for Disk Backup.
Recycle Bin:
The recycle bin is a feature
that moves deleted data to a recycle bin
before completely deleting. If the recycle bin
is disabled, then any deleted data inside the
USB Disk cannot be restored. If the recycle
bin is enabled, then all deleted data will be moved first to a folder called
.trash
on the USB Disk.
Data may then be removed from the recycle bin before it is permanently deleted. In Windows it
may be necessary to set Windows to display all hidden files and folders before the .trash folder is
visible. Consult your OS documentation for more information. Mac OS 10.2 or higher is required
for Recycle Bin functionality in Mac environments.
