The
LaCie 2big Triple
comes preformatted in
HFS+ for optimum performance with Mac OS X.
Mac OS X Users:
You may customize the drive by reformatting and/or
partitioning the drive with separate file system formats.
For optimal performance in Mac OS environments, for-
mat and partition the drive as one large Mac OS Ex-
tended volume.
Mac OS Extended (HFS+)
Mac OS Extended refers to the file system used by
Mac OS X. HFS+ represents an optimization of the
older HFS file system by using hard disk space more ef-
ficiently. With HFS+, you are no longer limited by block
size.
MS-DOS File System (FAT 32)
This is the Microsoft file system, more typically
known as FAT 32. This is the file system to use if you
are going to be using your LaCie Hard Drive between
Macs and Windows operating systems.
