Removing an SSD/HDD case
SSD/HDD cases can be ejected.
CAUTION
Do not remove the SSD/HDD case from the unit when the
SSD/HDD is being accessed (during recording, playback,
when data is being written or at other times when the
SSD/HDD case indicator is blinking orange). Removing a
case when its drive is being accessed could cause proper
recording to fail, recorded data to be lost, and sudden loud
noises from monitoring equipment, which might damage
the equipment or harm hearing.
NOTE
You can remove the SSD/HDD case from the unit even when
the unit is on as long as the SSD/HDD is not being accessed
(during recording, playback, when data is being written or
at other times when the SSD/HDD case indicator is blinking
orange).

This unlocks the loaded SSD/HDD case so that it can be
removed.
2. While sliding the RELEASE switch toward >, grasp the
SDD/HDD case by hand and pull it out.
