I suggest formatting in NTFS if your OS supports it though. Save 10 on select orders over 100 and 15 on orders over 250. It works on newer versions of windows, older versions of windows and Mac's OS.
The drive comes formatted in FAT32 for a reason.
If somebody can provide me with reliable evidence otherwise, I'd love to see it. Overall Review: I've heard a lot of criticism about how the HDD drive suffers from the same amount of wear when coming out of stand by as it does if you leave it running constantly for X amount of hours.

It does take a few seconds to come out of stand by when you try to access it. I wish you had an option to set it higher, like 30-45 min.

The stand by function is a pro and a con.The pros are it's eco friendly, keeps the drive cool when not in use and saves wear and tear overall (depending on how often you access the drive)Ĭons: Like I said, the stand by function is also a con. I've had the 1TB for over and month and two 750GB for about 6 months and all work great! Pros: Lots of space, quiet, eco friendly, runs cool, looks sexy, turns off and on with computer.
