Chapter 2 Getting Started
This disk unit is equipped with a write cache.
When the write cache is enabled, never turn off
the disk unit power without making sure that all
data has been written to the disk from cache
memory. Data will be lost if you turn off the
power before all data in cache memory has been
written to the disk.
Before powering off the disk unit, be sure to eject
the disk. Ejecting the disk writes data from cache
memory to the disk.
Note
Even though the drive will flush data periodically
to the disk, data may be lost in the case of a
power failure.
