Q: Do I have to format my NAS hard drive?

2026-01-12


#NAS #format #FAQ

No, you don’t need to format the hard drive in advance.
When a new hard drive is installed, the system will guide you through the formatting process during the initial setup.Alternatively, you can format the drive later through the ADM web interface by logging in with an administrator account and completing the setup steps.
