File Formats
T3 is formatted using exFAT file format, in order to support Windows OS, Mac OS, and the latest Android
operating systems.
Data reading/writing for file formats may vary depending on the OS. If you use T3 on a single OS, it is
recommended that you format the T3 using the appropriate file format for that OS.
