Note on Format
By default, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing use with
all modern operating systems. Unfortunately, FAT32 is limited to 4GB
les, making it unsuitable for use with many video editing and backup
software packages. If you plan to use the DriveStation with programs
that generate les larger than 4GB in size, use the Mac Disk Utility to
reformat your drive with a “Mac OS Extended” format.
