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.
