Model Ex12 (Dvd-Ram Drive Unit With Internal Hard Disk Drive); About Internal Hard Disk Drive Formatting - Fostex PD-6 Owner's Manual

Model EX12 (
DVD-RAM drive unit with built-in hard disk drive
The Model EX12, the ideal partner of the PD-6, is an external DVD-RAM drive unit with a built-
in 2.5-inch 40-GB hard disk drive.
By connecting the EX12 to the PD-6, you have a choice of three recording mediums: the PD-6
internal DVD-RAM drive, EX12 DVD-RAM drive and EX12 hard disk drive. Therefore, if the
Model 9056 is also fitted to the PD-6, you have a choice of four recording mediums.
By connecting the EX12 to the PD-6, as with the 9056, you can carry out mirror recording, auto
copy, disk copy and file copy.
The Model EX12 also provides the IEEE1394 and USB ports for PC connection, which allows
you to export audio file data recorded on a DVD-RAM disk set to the EX12 to the PC.
Note that a PC cannot access to the PD-6 hard disk drive or EX12 hard disk drive.
<Note>: For details about how to export audio files on a DVD-RAM disk set to the PD-6 or
EX12 to your PC, see the Model EX12 owner's manual.
<Note>: When the EX12 is connected to the PD-6, turn on the EX12 first, followed by the PD-
6.
<Note>: For details about how to dock the PD-6 to the EX12, as well as about the EX12
functions, see the EX12 owner's manual.
<About internal hard disk drive formatting>
The EX12 internal 40-GB hard disk drive is formatted when shipped (note that you have to
format a 12-cm DVD-RAM disk before it is used with the EX12), and divided into "Normal
mode" partitions, as with the Model 9056. However, unlike the Model 9056, each partition
of the Model EX12 hard disk drive has 4.7-GB recording capacity (matching the size of a
single-sided 12-cm DVD-RAM disk). Therefore, it can be regarded as if the EX12 hard disk
has eight 4.7-GB 12-cm DVD-RAM disks.
