Is this NTFS and/or FAT compatible? Or is it exFAT only?

If it helps, I have two of them. One I use in the MACBOOK AIR and IMAC and the other in SONY video camera and CANNON T3I. THEY ARE FLAWLESS. As for the NTFS question, I believe you are OK but I have not personally tried it directly.

The drive is format in FAT32, limiting the file size to 4GB. I did not format the drive to exFAT, but to NTFS. It was really easy and you can can store much bigger files. That works for me. To format the drive to exFAT : 1. Insert your flash drive into an available USB port on your PC. 2. Click "Computer" from the windows start menu. 3. Right-click on the icon for your USB and select "Format". 4. The format window will come up. From the "File system" menu pick "exFAT", and click "Start".

For NTFS the max file size for that drive would be the capacity of the drive. For FAT32 it would be limited to 4Gb file size. It comes formatted in FAT32.

It will work with any machine that supports removable USB storage. If you want universal compatibility across the board, I would recommend use of exFAT over FAT32 if you have 4GB+ filesizes on individual files.You think any of those "Formatted for Mac" drives are any different from their Windows counterparts? Absolutely NOT! They're simply overcharged for being formatted as HFS lol. Also by calling Windows "Windhoes," you tend to make others not want to take you seriously ;)

Both NTFS and Fat 32 formatted discs or USB sticks are supported. Cheers! Marty G

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

SD card 2Gb or below is "FAT" SD card 4Gb or higher is "FAT32" It advises not to use NTFS OR exFAT formats these are not supported.

This flash drive is by default formatted in fat, but which number I am unsure, to my understanding fat formatting is extremely backwards compatible. This flash drive would more likely than not work for you.

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.

Will the RAID work? Sure. This is handled by the card itself. You just have to make sure you're using the proper drivers.Will the filesystem itself work across operating systems? Maybe. ExFAT, FAT, and NTFS have support on Windows, OSX, and Linux. More cutting edge filesystems like BTRFS are limited to Linux.

It is formatted for NTFS Windows OS. Also, I have dropped it once when I was getting out of the car. The drive is totally unusable due to bad sectors after that.

I don't remember for sure. I think I used 'Convert e: /fs:ntfs' and it only took a few seconds, so even if it's not it's no big deal

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

Well for one that's not true. I watch movies on my ps3 and my flash drive is NTFS. I assume you could do Fat32 but have not tried.

It's definitely not FAT16 since that can't even come close to holding 128GB. I'm 99% sure that the card came formatted as exFAT and I had to reformat it to FAT32 for my purposes. I had to use Linux to format the card as FAT32.

Cool, different OS or OS that only supports FAT32 is one of those applications. I looked it up and the limitation in W7+ is you can only format partitions up to 32GB as FAT32 the easiest way to get around that is some free partitioning software. I use gparted Live CD because I know it's not bundled with Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) but there are a lot of other options. If you want to see the disks as separate (JBOD) that works best with USB with eSATA you may need a SATA controller that supports port multiplier.

Unfortunately this unit can only read FAT16 or FAT32 filesystems, not NTFS... so your drive size is limited by the capabilities of FAT32: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table#FAT32
