DO NOT format
the drive when
other computers
have the NDAS
device mounted.
For best
compatibility
between different
Operating Systems,
use the FAT32 file
system. FAT32 can
be accessed on
most systems but
the file size for a
single file is limited
to 4GB only.
It is recommended
to format the hard
drive using the
interface you will
most likely be
accessing the drive
with.
