Open Hardware -> Harddrive.
You can configure any hard drive setting in this window.
Spin-down time
Hard drives are devices with moving part that create noise and heat, and consume
power. If the FSG is not used for an extended period of time, your best option may be to
shut down the hard drive. This reduces power consumption and the amount of noise and
heat generated. It also increases the operational life of the hard drive. When the hard
drive is shutdown, it will take longer to access it initially because the hard drive has to first
start spinning.
You can set the time after which the hard disk shuts down following the last access. If you
do not want to use this option, please enter 0.
Once you have set the time, click 'Apply'.
Formatting the hard drive
Before formatting the internal HD on the FSG, please read the warning notices. All data
is lost during formatting! After reading the warning notices, please press the button to
confirm you want to format the hard drive. Then click the 'Format drive' button.
Attention: When you click the 'Format drive' button, all data on the drive
is lost! Please make a backup copy before formatting the drive.
Attention: Stop all operations on the device while the drive is being
formatted!
