Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns the EZ Media to its original state. This feature is useful if you give your EZ Media to
someone else.
Factory Reset provides two options for returning your EZ Media to its original state:
Quickly delete all data — permanently deletes all record of existing or deleted data, users, and
passwords.
Securely delete all data — this option takes significantly longer, but provides an added security
benefit by overwriting all drives with random data in addition to permanently erasing all data on the
drives to prevent recovery of existing or deleted data, users, and passwords. The secure delete
operation renders all data irrecoverable.
You can use the factory reset feature only to erase the drives internal to the EZ Media. You cannot
use this feature to reset any external storage devices that may be connected.
