Encrypting Drives
If Encryption is selected during formatting, the drive will be encrypted with 128-bit AES. The data on the drive will
be accessible only when the drive is attached to the TeraStation, and not other devices. To unencrypt the hard drive,
uncheck
Encryption
and format the drive again. Refer to the previous page for more information.
Note:
Encrypting a drive degrades its overall performance somewhat.
Dismounting a Drive
Before removing a drive from the TeraStation, dismount the drive. Follow the instructions below to dismount the drive.
Note:
Repeatedly dismounting and/or removing drives is not recommended. Only dismount and remove drives if you have a
