SECURE FORMAT MEDIA
Secure format is a low-level format that rebuilds the SSD file system. It should only be used if the performance
of the SSD is in question.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that data is backed up before formatting media, since formatting erases all data on the SSD.
To perform a secure format, follow the instructions below:
1. Go to
Menu

Media
>

.
2. Select
Secure Format...
.
3. Continue to format the media as you would for a normal media format. For more information, go to
