USB Disk

The USB Disk tab provides configuration options for a USB hard drive connected to the
SilverStore. Use this tab to remotely format a USB hard drive, safely disconnect a USB hard
drive from the SilverStore, and backup data from a USB drive to the SilverStore.

To format a USB hard drive:

1. Connect a USB hard drive to the SilverStore.
NOTE: SilverStore supports USB flash disk and external USB hard drives; USB
optical drives (CD/DVD combo or DVD dual/multi) are not supported.
2. Select the USB hard drive you want to format, then click the Format icon. A dialog box
appears warning that all data are erased.
WARNING: Formatting hard drives erases all the disk contents,
including partition tables, logical volumes, and all shared folders
and subfolders and files. Perform this procedure only when you know
that it is safe to proceed. When formatting a USB drive, only one
partition is created and your partition is formatted as FAT32/NTFS/
HFS+/EXT2/EXT3/EXT4 (Format can be selected in pull-down menu).
3. Click OK.
4. Disconnect the USB hard drive from the SilverStore.
