4.2.4 Creating a PC Compatible Volume
You can use your eSATA hard disk as a separate storage volume. The following
section shows you how to create a PC Compatible Volume. Use this storage
method if you have an eSATA hard disk that will be connected to a Windows
computer when it is not connected to the NSA. However, the computer’s platform
(for example, Windows XP SP2) should support the file system you selected for
the eSATA hard disk.
1
Connect the eSATA hard disk to your NSA and go to the Storage > Volume
screen. Click Create a SATA Volume.
2
In the Disk Configuration screen, you can select the storage method.
• Type in the Volume Name for your PC Compatible volume. The volume name
can be 1 to 31 characters (a-z, 0-9, " " [spaces], "_", and ".").
• Choose PC Compatible Volume.
• Select the File System you want to use (NTFS in this example). Make sure this
file system is supported by the Windows platform you are using in your
computer. Refer to
for file systems supported by
your NSA. Click Apply.
This deletes all existing data in the eSATA hard disk. Make sure
you have a backup of any existing data in the hard disk.
