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.

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.
