Spin-down time
Hard drives are devices with moving part that create noise and heat, and consume power. If the FSG is not used for an extended period of time, your best option may be to shut down the hard drive. This reduces power consumption and the amount of noise and heat generated. It also increases the operational life of the hard drive. When the hard drive is shutdown, it will take longer to access it initially because the hard drive has to first start spinning.
You can set the time after which the hard disk shuts down following the last access. If you do not want to use this option, please enter 0.
Once you have set the time, click 'Apply'.
Formatting the hard drive
Before formatting the internal HD on the FSG, please read the warning notices. All data is lost during formatting! After reading the warning notices, please press the button to confirm you want to format the hard drive. Then click the 'Format drive' button.
Attention: When you click the 'Format drive' button, all data on the drive is lost! Please make a backup copy before formatting the drive.
Attention: Stop all operations on the device while the drive is being formatted!
