Drive Formating

Most issues that arise during recording are media related. All the actions below can affect the state and performance of drives as well as negatively impact recording:

• improper formatting

• incorrect file system or cache settings

• use of drives on other file systems before recording (e.g. offloading media on a Mac)

• improper removal of the drives after recording

To avoid these issues, we only recommend using Samsung SSDs.  For them, Windows disk-caching settings must be set to “on.”

In addition, local SSD disks must be:

• MBR volumes, partitioned on a Windows system

• Formatted as NTFS

• Formatted as a single volume
