9. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Which drive format should I choose to format the hard drives in the SR4-WBS2?
A : It depends on the computer system you most often use. See the below suggestions:
1. Use NTFS for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 system.
2. Use HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) format for a Mac OS X system.
3. Choose FAT32 format if you'll use the SR4-WBS2 in both Windows and Mac
environments (the maximum size of one single file may not exceed 4 GB).
Q2. Why can't my SR4-WBS2 reach the high transfer performance speed beyond 200 MB/
sec. via e-SATA interface as stated on your website?
A : 1. Please first check if your PCI-E SATA host adapter would only support PCI-E (1X).
This type of host adapters cannot reach the transfer performance speed beyond 140
MB/s.
2. It is recommended to purchase STARDOM SJ20-8x (PCI-E 8X) host adapter to enhance
the transfer speed performance via e-SATA.
