Taurus - USB User Guide
Mac OS
For Mac OS X, use the Disk Utility to format and create
partitions on your external disk.
•
Select “Disk Utility” in the utilities folder
If the drive does not
appear on the
desktop, make sure
there are no
extension conflicts
and the power is
turned on!
•
Choose your external drive and format it according to your
requirements
For Mac OS X, we recommend formatting the drive using the
native Mac file system HFS+ also known as Mac OS Extended.
If you want to use your drive on a PC running Microsoft
Windows as well as on your Mac, we recommend you to use
the FAT32 file system. On your Mac, select MS-DOS when
formatting it. Note: The file size for a single file on FAT32 is
limited to 4GB.
If the JBOD mode is enabled, you will only see one large drive
instead of two separate hard drives.
