several hours to complete. The I20 message for drives or the I28 message for USB drives will appear on the LCD
panel until the format is completed. Click OK when completed.
Notes:
• Do not turn off or disconnect power to the TeraStation while formatting a drive.
• For drives of 2.2 TB or larger, make sure that the "GPT Partition" checkbox is selected.
Encrypting Drives
Internal drives (and arrays) can be encrypted with 128-bit AES during formatting. Encrypted drives and arrays are
then readable only from that specific TeraStation. To decrypt a drive or array, clear the "Encryption" checkbox and
format it again.
