Any exported drives can be un-exported by navigating to the iSCSI Export media utility
for the drive and tapping on the Remove Export button in the lower right portion of the
iSCSI Export screen.
3.3.11 Eject
This media utility is provided to allow for safe ejection of attached drives. Ejecting a drive
removes it from the system software in a safe manner and is recommended before
unplugging any attached media from a powered TX1 and before powering down TX1 with
drives attached. For destination and accessory drives in particular (since they are
read/write), failure to eject a drive prior to removal from the system could corrupt the drive
filesystem, which could result in loss of previously captured evidence/data. Note that
ejection of media being used in a job will not be allowed until the job is complete.
In addition to quiescing the drive for system removal, pressing the Eject button will issue
an ATA spin down command to drives that may support it. Spinning down rotating hard
disk drives is recommended to minimize the chance of platter damage upon physical
removal of the drive from the system. Note that not all drives support this command, and
some may take longer to eject from the system due to lack of spin down command
support. But this is considered a minor inconvenience compared to the benefit of
minimizing the chance of drive damage.
