Problem with X-Drive II

bbchia · 30th June 2004

Hi,

I am having problem with coping files to this device. I have a 40GB HDD installed in this devices. But my system is giving me the message after I tried to copies in my files to this drive after coping over 500mb of data into this drive.

The files that I am trying to coping are avi files, hence are are usually quite big files with more than 1 GB in file size.

My current file system on X-Drive II is FAT32.

Think I just solved this problem. Seem like FAT32 cannot handle a single file size that is bigger than 500MB++. I reformat the x-drive to be NTFS and now the problem is solved.

Actually, the file limit for FAT32 is 2 GB.

By reformatting the drive in NTFS, you will no longer be able to transfer files from the flash memory to the hard disk using X-drive.
