Does this come as a FAT32 or an NTFS file system?

It came formatted in FAT32, I reformatted it to NTFS as I use large image files on it and can not use FAT32 due to the file size limitation of 4GB for a single file.

Plug and play on all my Windows XP Pro and 7 computers, so my guess is NTFS. Love it for size and the new 128GB is now about the same price for USB 3.0.

I've had it for a while now, so I can't remember for sure. I believe it comes as FAT32 for complete compatibility across OS's, but formatting it to NTFS (which is what I did) takes all of 10 seconds by plugging it in, right-clicking on it and selecting "Format..." from the list. I like to use NTFS because it doesn't have the same file size restrictions of FAT32.

It comes as a FAT32 system. Though you can obviously format it to any system you want. FAT32 limits the data transfer to upto 4GB I guess. But the transfer speeds in any system are impressive.

I believe it ships in Fat32. If not it is easy to reformat it with Fat32 filesystem.

I'm pretty sure most external hard drives come formatted in FAT32. If the drive you buy is not, you can easily reformat it yourself. http://www.ehow.com/how_4924445_format-hard-drive-fat.html

It doesnt have room for internal drives, just external ones, via USB.By default I would recomend to format the drive with extFAT, for compatibility, FAT32 gives too much restrictions for HD video, and NTFS would give you problems with other devices.

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

I use MacFuse to access my NTFS partition on Bootcamp. Am just ordering the drive now, will see if MacFuse+NTFS is any faster or slower than Fat32.

As stated, it comes formatted in exFat file system -- You can format to NTFS/ext3 however when I did so I lost over half of the drive's write speed. Formatted it back to exFat and it was fast and zippy again. I'm not about to store a file larger than 4gb on a thumbdrive so I'd rather have the speed in exFat. If I need to move or xfer a file larger than 4 gb i'll put it on my external hd. Shame to loose the speed by changing the file system though.

The drive must be formatted with the FAT file system and then it works. This mean nothing over 32GB.

If you are working with Windows I recommend NTFS but FAT32 will be compatible with almost everything else. Hope this helps.--Ed

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

I think so it is a NTF format hard disk. All digital. You can make many partition in it.

Yes it does. It will come formatted with FAT32, so you will have to change it to NTFS, but it is possible.

This been formated in FAT32, so 4gb is a maximum to transfer for 1 file. But you can still change its type to NTFS then everything will be OK.
