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.
