Depends on the format you want it on. If you need it to be compatible with both mac and PC, then no. Fat32 has a 4GB limit. However, if you are on a mac, you can format the drive as Journaled and put any size on it, but it will only work with mac computers. If PC, you can format it NTFS and it will take any size but only work on PCs.

I use the 32 and 64 GB USB 3.0 drives and I store files on it much larger than 4 GB.

Yes you can. However, it might not if you format the thumb drive to a different format. e.g. FAT32 versus NTFS or whatever?

I haven't tried anything that large. I do have a couple of them, but I have only used a 32g thumb drive.

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

I Don't believe there is a drive size (as in number of Gigs) limitation . That pretty much relates to most all external drive enclodures. I DO reccomend (as with this model) that it have at least one fan for cooling. Currently I hace a 2TB drive in this particular model ,and have had No issues to date.Hope that helps (someone anyway) LOL HappyPuting. ;-)

No, there's no way to do that. Is beacuse the File System FAT 32.. that FS desnt accept more than 4GB per file :/ i know it sucks :c

What info I have learned is 32 gig is max. Suggest go to Afunta web and ask

Technically, yes, you can clone the source drive to a larger destination disk, but depending on the software you are using there is a chance you'd have issues using more space than was originally available on the source drive. There are tools and software (you were not OS specific, so I'll not call anything out) out there that can expand after the clone to take more available space, and there are disk tools that can address this, but be aware of the possible outcomes.

Yeah but your better off getting a larger hard drive because of the amount of files you're trying to transfer. This USB is only 16-32 gb of memory and I'm pretty sure you're gonna want to move a lot more files than that.

As long that your backup is not more than 9GB, this is a dual layer rewriter, remembr to use dual layer 9GB disks otherwise single layer 4GB disks are just fine, anything bigger backup to another hard drive if possible. Hope this helps.....

I don't think there is an actual limit. I use a 64 gb card and it works fine

Gary, I'm really not sure, but I don't think it does. I am using a 32 gig as well and I just checked my card today and it showed 99% full. But I could not really tell if it had try to overwrite the existing files. Not much help I'm afraid.

I also ended up using FAT32; I haven't seen any downside if you want to just store files... except the maximum file size. I don't know of any cross-platform format that has no file size limit, so my advice is FAT32 with the hope somebody else here knows of a better one! :)P.S: I have this exact product, and after a a few different attempts I found FAT32 to work for using it to move stuff from my windows 7 desktop to snow leopard macbook pro

I've actually copied a few smaller to larger drives, but I can't remember how it handled the partition on the new drives. If it didn't automatically resize to fill the drive, then it was trivial to do within Windows because I know I didn't spend a lot of time doing it, and I definitely didn't use partitioning software.

Don't own this particular disk, but the support for large files is unrelated with the disk itself. It is a limitation of the file system used on it, so if you format the drive as FAT, then it will have an upper limit on file sizes of 4gb. There are other file systems which support bigger files, such as NTFS (or HFS+ in case you're using a Mac). But do notice that FAT is still the most widely supported format, so some devices might have issue reading from a NTFS disk.

geez you all are so ignorant. the actual space is 64GB but a filesystem is needed to keep track of the files on the disk. how else do you expect it to work without a filesystem?

I am not 100 percent certain...but I am pretty sure...IF you had a 4GB card you can transfer to another 4G. An 8 to an 8. A 16 to a 16G and a 32 to another 32GB card. I believe you would need to transfer data (first) to a 4GB card, then you can make as many 4 GB copies as u want from there. But, SOURCE size cannot exceed the SLAVE (copy) size. This unit is for duplicating multiple copies of from ONE source. If you wanted to buy a 32GB card and SLAVE it over to that...that would work. Except ALL THE MEMORY SPACE (open) on your 4 GB card would be transferred to the 32GB card. You can always RE- FORMAT the cards ( wipe them CLEAN) and fill them up later with MORE/ different media up to the 32 GB available on your cards.

I use a thumb drive I'm on my western digital units. The largest one I used was a 64 gig and it use it with no problem.
