LinkStation Format
Select a disk to format:
The pull-down menu lists the drives that can be
formatted. If a USB Hard Drive is connected to
LinkStation then it will be available for format.
The
‘Internal HDD’
can also be formatted from
this page.
All external USB Hard Drives
MUST
be
formatted by LinkStation before they are used.
NOTE:
Formatting a drive will erase all data. Do not format a drive unless you are absolutely sure you want to
delete
ALL
of the data on the drive. Brand new USB Disks will need to be formatted, but the internal
LinkStation hard drive comes pre-formatted.
Before formatting a USB Disk, please make sure it is plugged into the rear USB Port on LinkStation.
Only the rear USB Port supports use with a USB Disk.
