So, you won't be making files > 4GB then.....like all of my backup files (admittedly on a Linux box).

And, really, is there any point in reviewing USB hard drives? After all, they are all pretty much exactly the same.

Waste of time way too small nee 2 TB plus not piddley little 500 gig babies

Err, plenty of point reviewing hard drives as they aren't equal - i've noticed some major variation of read and write times.

As for FAT32, i think this was for the purpose of the test for use on a Mac, sure they could have gone HFS+ but that wouldn't be in line with the others. Most backup programs worth their salt also allow you to specify maximum file size too... maybe you should try a proper OS ;-)

Who makes the drive that's inside this thing? Such information would be very useful to folks, such as myself, who will no longer touch Seagate drives with a shitty stick after the Barracuda firmware debacle.
