select OK. After the performance verification is completed,

NOTE
: You cannot format the
internal drive.
Some UDMA drives cannot keep up with the demand for 24 tracks of audio data.
So, before you rush to your local computer store and buy the cheapest UDMA
drive you can find, consider picking up some Mackie Media drives from your
nearest Mackie dealer instead (nudge nudge, say no more…). If you still insist on
the do-it-yourself route, check Mackie’s web site for a list of approved drives.
