Formatting Media on a Windows computer
The format dialog box can format a drive in the exFAT format on a Windows PC. Make sure you
back up anything important from your SSD or SD card as you will lose everything on it when it
is formatted.
To format on a Windows computer:
1 Connect an SSD to your computer with an external dock or cable adapter.
For SD cards, insert the card into your computer's SD card slot, or connect it to your
computer via an external card reader.
2 Open the start menu or start screen and choose computer. Right-click on your
SSD or SD card.
3 From the contextual menu, choose format.
4 Set the file system to exFAT and the allocation unit size to 128 kilobytes.
5 Type a volume label, select quick format and click Start.
6 Your media will quickly be formatted and made ready for use with HyperDeck.
Use the Format dialog box feature in Windows to
format your SSD or SD card in the exFAT format
