Can it support multiple partitions? Which file systems are supported? FAT? FAT32? exFat? NTFS?

The central uses a linux partition but when access through network both windows and mac recognize it as a NAS so no need to format at all.

Yes. I have it formatted Half for my Mac and half for my PC. The Mac can see both partitions, but the PC can only see the NTFS partition.

I'm not sure about FAT32, but I was able to reformat mine to exFAT using Disk Utility on a Mac, and that allowed me to use the drive with both Macs and PCs. I'm fairly certain you could do the same for FAT32, by the same method. Good luck.

yeah works fine if you format it right. Fat32 works good unless files are over 4gigs in size. also ntsf with macfuze installed is a good bet too..

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.

No.. There isn't. You can actually format it to EXT2 partition and use it on both. You could also format it as NTFS and install the NTFS drivers on your MBP and use it on both.

Absolutely will work just fine as all three of those operating systems use NTFS. However the limit of 32bit Windows XP means it cannot recognize a hard drive that is larger than 2 terabytes regardless of how it's partitioned so I recommend formatting an entire 2 terabyte hard drive or smaller as NTFS.

You can partition a drive into two or more partitions. Each partition can be formatted differently. One of them can be for a Mac and the other can be for a PC.

I am unfamiliar with NTFS. What would an example of that be? I'd be happy to help with more information.

It supports RAID 0 with excellent performance. That is my current configuration. Note that there is no fault tolerance with RAID 0 so you need to regularly backup your data.

Please make sure which kind of partition you fomatted the drive before you insert to the devices (TV, Blu-ray) support them. (exFAT, FAT,FAT32 or NTFS etc)

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

Hi to the best of my knowledge an experience on a Windows platform it shows as 2 separate drives. On the Mac os it shows as 1 drive.

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!

It comes formatted in ExFat so you can use files greater than 4GB out of the box. You can format it to NTFS if you like or have devices that aren't compatible with ExFat.

The device comes with a FAT32 partition, which is quite limited but very compatible.I repartitioned my USB Flash drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and so files on it can be as large as the device.

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