About the Hard Drive

The hard drive comes pre-formatted in FAT32 format. This format
allows for operation with either Windows or Mac OS.
If you want to format to NTFS please consult your Windows
documentation and select an allocation unit size of 64K when
formatting. Because calculating the amount of free space for large
NTFS formatted drives can take considerable time (up to 3 minutes
in some instances), there are special considerations for using the
InSight display feature under NTFS:
• Upon connecting the drive, the display will show "scanning ..."
and the blue LED will flash while the drive is busy calculating
the remaining free space. This process must complete fully
before the display will refresh and the drive will show up in
My Computer.
• Upon safe removal, Windows may display the message
indicating it is now safe to disconnect the drive, even while the
drive itself is still busy calculating remaining free space. While
the drive is still busy calculating, the display will show
"scanning ..." and the blue LED will flash. Please wait for the
flashing to cease and for the display to refresh.
• The display feature is not supported under NTFS with partition
type "GUID Partition Table (GPT)".
• Longer calculation time is required for larger drive capacities.
• Shorter calculation time is required when using larger allocation
unit sizes. For this reason we recommend selecting an
allocation unit size of 64K when formatting to NTFS with this
product.
If you plan to use your hard drive only with computers running Mac
OS, you may reformat to HFS+. Consult your Mac OS documentation
for how to format to HFS+. Please note these special considerations
when using the display feature under HFS+
• Partition type "Master Boot Record" is supported for all HFS+
