The Phase One Secure Storage system (3S) provides
the industries 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.
Always format your Memory card in the P-back
In General all CF-cards or micro drives comes pre-
formmatted 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 for-
mat them in the P-back.
Please consult the "Format Disk" explanation in chap-
ter 9 of this reference manual on how to format a
memory card in the P-back.

or FAT 32 depending on card size, and if the formatting
are done in the P-back cluster sizes on the disk is set
for best performance.

ther Mac or Windows, this is explained in the following
