Permanently erases everything

Use only in extreme cases
(such as if a computer
corrupts the SSDs file
system).
RECOVER SSD2
Non-destructively recovers /
rebuilds file system of SSD2
PLEASE NOTE:
Formatting should be performed at the start of use of any new SSDs and the start of
any new project. Recovery is for when the SSD was not properly dismounted from the Odyssey7Q.
This includes physically removing the SSD without running the eject sequence, sudden loss of power
to the Odyssey7Q or improper powering down of the Odyssey7Q. The Recover process accesses any
incomplete files on the SSD and, when possible, properly closes them. NOTE: FORMATTING OF SSDs
SHOULD ALWAYS BE PERFORMED ON THE ODYSSEY7Q.
