Alt ID
Unique ID assigned to the disk by the system. This ID is generated by system using the disk's
vendor, model number, serial number, and bus connection. A given disk may get a different 'Alt
ID' if it is connected to a different bus (e.g. eSATA vs. USB3).
Name
User defined disk name.
Partition Settings
Partition Table Type
The format of the partition table to write to the disk. The options are 'MBR Partition Table' and
'GUID Partition Table (GPT)'. The MBR partition table format is an older partition table format
and is usable on drives up to 2.19 TB (terabyte or 10^12 bytes). The GPT partition table format is
used by newer BIOS's and OS's and is usable on drives up to 9.4 ZB (zettabyte or 10^21 bytes).
Some OS's cannot read the GPT partition table (or drives greater than 2TB) and must use the
MBR format.
Encryption Settings (TrueCrypt compatible)
Encrypt Data
Check this box to create an encrypted volume
Use File Container
Check this box to use a file to store the encrypted volume rather than encrypting the entire
partition.
File Name
Name of the file used as a file container. This file will automatically be sized to the maximum
size possible for the partition.
Password
Password used to encrypt the volume. We recommend a password of at least 20 characters that
includes letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and special characters such as @^=$*+ etc. It
should not contain names, dates of birth, or words found in a dictionary.
Confirm
Confirm the password by reentering it.
Encryption Algorithm
The algorithm used to encrypt volume data. Supported options are:
•
AES
•
Twofish
•
Serpent
•
AES-Twofish-Serpent
•
