What file system does this use (FAT32, NTFS, etc.)?

You can format it as you wish. Put NTFS, because FAT32 limits the file size to below 4 GB which is fairly useless and negates the real strong point of this stick - lightening and moving huge fils around...

NTFS, xFAT and FAT32. I use NTFS. Previsouly used FAT32 and had issues with the device not being detected on all devices. Re-formatted to NTFS and its perfect. I can't recommend this device enough. I get 150 Megabyes a second writes on this!

Yes, but it has to be formatted to exFAT if you want the files to be over 4gbs. (NTFS also for Windows)

64GB SDXC OK.. I formatted as exFAT instead of NTFS. Turn off wireless and connect to PC will be able to read/write files. My 32GB USB has FAT and works OK.

Video How To: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-O_9VrCw-o NTFS - Windows Exclusive Format MS-DOS (FAT) or FAT32 = Windows or Mac or Linux (NOTE: FAT format does not allow moving files larger than 4GB) You can also format it in about 3 different "mac exclusive" formats, if you will only use it on a mac.

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

If you're running a mac, use the disk utility to see what format it is. If you need to reformat it you can use FAT32 or MAC OS Journaled. http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilformat.htm

I think my drive was formatted with ntfs but I can't remember for sure. I have received drives both formatted and blank. Drives I have received with back up software already installed have, for the most part, been formatted with ntfs.

Recently I added a drive with data to mine. and I was able to restore the data, Back it up and format the drive for a new use. it worked well. I was using windows 7, I am not sure of the format I believe it was NTFS.

Try formating it in other way than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

The drive can only be formatted in FAT32, so the size of the file determines if it can be stored on the drive. If you are looking at files over 4Gb, it wont work.

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

It's a HD. It will work with whatever OS you format it for. G-Parted is your friend. But Linux can read NTFS and FAT32 partitions fine.

yes, you can't format it to FAT32 it must be formatted to NTFS - there is a dropdown menu and that option is there when you format the drive.

I don't know. I've been using 8G flash drives or an old WD Cavier 313000, 13G ide hard drive. I'm not sure if it's formatted in Fat/NFTS. Sorry!

You can format this drive to either FAT32, NTFS, ExFAT, or whatever. Will work for system backup or making a recovery disk.
