Defrag Drive

The Defrag option (SETUP:Page Right:Disk:Defrag) allows you to defragment a drive. As files are written, edited, and deleted on a disk, the files can become fragmented. The SDR24/96 still keeps track of the data, but it can slow down access to the files. Defragmenting a drive puts all the files back together in contiguous streams of data.

As a precaution, we recommend backing up the data on the hard drive before running the defrag operation.

1. Press SETUP to enter the

USB mass storage (USBMS)

The system USB mass storage option (SETUP:Page Right:System:USBMS) allows you to put the SDR24/96 into USB mass storage mode. The SDR24/96 can then be accessed as an external storage device from a computer for transferring files.

In USB mass storage mode, the SDR24/96 cannot be used as a hard disk recorder. Upon leaving USB mass storage mode, the SDR24/96 will reboot.
