18. Secure Storage System
18.1 Secure Storage system “3S” (How does it work?)
When a card is inserted into the P–back, a complete disk check for a
valid file structure is performed.
High GB cards needs slightly longer to load
Large Microdrives is significantly slower than CF -cards, If the load time
exceeds 2 seconds the progress will be indicated with series of small
dots in the disk icon.
It is not recommended to turn off disk checking, but it is possible by
selecting the “Disk Checking” available in the “Menu” under “Storage”
Whenever Disk Checking is turned off the capture counter turns red to
indicate that the disk has not been checked.
18.2 Disk Check summary
With the 3S technology we have created a new and safe storage system
in the P – back that is much more rugged than anything else seen in
the industry.
Best performance is obtained by formatting the card in the P+ back
(Although other formatting is supported, formatting in the P+ back
ensures exact cluster size depending on card size)
Damaged or wrong formatted cards will be detected immediately
eliminating the risk of shooting to a damaged CFcard.
Ejecting a card while in a writing session will no longer damage the file
structure of the entire CF-card, only the affected buffer of images.
This level of file system security is unique to the Phase One digital
backs.
