Internal drives (and arrays) can be encrypted with 128-bit AES during formatting. Encrypted drives and arrays are then 
readable only from that specific TeraStation. To unencrypt a drive or array, uncheck “Encryption” and format it again.

If configured as a media cartridge, an internal drive can be used as a removable storage device in the same way as an 
external drive. Media cartridges can be unplugged and connected to a different TeraStation with all data intact.
To configure a drive as a media cartridge, check “Media Cartridge” during formatting. To return it to its original state, 
uncheck “Media Cartridge” and reformat the drive.

Media cartridges do not support:
•  RAID arrays 
•  LVM volumes 
•  Access restrictions
•  Direct connection to a Windows computer

Notes: 
•  Don’t configure the boot drives (drives 1 and 2) as media cartridges.
•  Configure media cartridges from the bottom drive up. For example, if your TeraStation has 4 drives, make drive 4

•  If the TeraStation fails to boot after drive 1 or 2 is replaced, remove any media cartridges, then replace them after

Under some circumstances, data from formatted drives can be recovered. The disk erasure process in this section does
