Media Cartridge System
The Media Cartridge System enables you to use an internal hard drive as a removable storage device in the same way as
an external hard drive. The Media Cartridge System can be used for removing the internal hard drive and connecting it
to another TeraStation with the data intact.
Notes:
• Formatting deletes all data from a hard drive. Be careful! Back up any important data on a drive before formatting it.
It will take a several minutes to format a hard drive.
• Do not turn o the TeraStation or disconnect power while formatting a hard drive.
• Hard drives that are converted to a media cartridge do not support changing RAID modes, creating LVM volume, or
access restrictions.
• Hard drives that are converted to a media cartridge do not support connection to a computer for reading.
