Secure Erase
For drives that carry the ATOMOS Logo such as the G-Technology 4K SSD, Angelbird
4KRAW, AtomX SSDmini by Angelbird and Sony, an option for Secure Erase is presented.
This allows for the entire drive including the drive cache to be formatted. This will erase
ALL content on the drive meaning nothing can be recovered. It will wipe all data off the
drive (which may also be useful as a additional security measure) and reset it back as
close as possible to factory conditions. The benefit of this feature is that it helps to main-
tain maximum drive performance, and therefore should be used when available.
Backing up and archiving
Remember that no storage media, including tape, optical disks, spinning disks and flash
memory, is completely immune from failure. You should bear this in mind when deciding
how to manage your recorded content. At the very least, you should consider the con-
sequences for you and your business if your storage media were to suffer from a sudden
failure, and you should back up your content accordingly.
Deleting files
To ensure the integrity of data writes and to avoid situations such as fragmentation, the
ATOMOS operating system on the NINJA V+ does not support the deletion of files. We
also do not advise removing or deleting files randomly from the disk on your computer.
Often files are left in the trash or garbage partition of the drive occupying drive cache and
this can affect drive performance. It’s advised that you archive your content and reformat
the drive before each shoot. For more details refer to the Using the NINJA V+ - Best
Practice section.
