Formatting Drives

Notes:
• Under some circumstances, data deleted when a drive is formatted can be recovered. To ensure that data is "gone
forever", a format might not be sufficient. See the "Erasing Data on the TeraStation Completely" section below.
• After a drive is formatted, the "% Used" and "Amount Used" in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive
space is used for the system area.
