NTI's Factory Restore Drives Save the Day!

Every QuadStation system comes equipped with a very unique secondary hard drive called an FRD drive, short for Factory Restore Drive.  Think of this extra hard drive like a safety net in case something goes wrong. The FRD drive is completely bootable, so in the event of a hard drive or software issue you are covered. Simply connect the FRD drive to the primary position and your system will be restored back to factory state in minutes!
During production, after all quality control inspections have passed and just before the system is prepared for shipping, the main hard drive is removed. A 'clone' is made of the main drive and copied over to a FRD drive, and mounted inside the system. The FRD remains disconnected for a good reason, to keep it pristine. This way if you get a virus for example on the main drive, your FRD drive remains unaffected.

In many cases, our FRD's literally save the day in what would otherwise be an extremely stressful event.
