3.3.3 Formatting destination and accessory drives
To perform an image duplication to or save logs to a drive, you must format the
destination or accessory drive with a file system that is recognizable by TX1. TX1
supports formatting destination drives in the following file system formats: exFAT,
NTFS, EXT4, FAT32, or HFS+.
exFAT is recommended for best compatibility when accessing drives with all
modern operation systems. EXT4 is recommended for use with Linux forensic tools.
HFS+ is recommended for use with MacOS forensic tools.
Note: When FAT is selected as the filesystem type for a destination drive
format, TX1 will format the drive as FAT32. However, job logs (including the
format log) and all user interface elements will simply show this as FAT. That
is because TX1 supports reading from all FAT formats (12, 16, and 32), and
simply identifying them all as FAT is considered acceptable and accurate for
filesystem identification purposes.
Note: TX1 cannot format a destination drive with an APFS filesystem, though
it can mount a previously formatted APFS volume on any connected drive
(source, destination, or accessory port).
