You may be able to write data to file systems that are usually not compatible by using
an external program.
At the time of the delivery the DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 is already formatted for you in
the NTFS file system. In the chart above you can see the compatibility of the NTFS file
system with your operating system. If NTFS does not work with your operating system,
you will have to re-format the hard drive (chapter 6).
For Windows users we recommend NTFS. The most powerful file system for MAC OS
X is HFS+ and for Linux you should use EXT3. The DIGITTRADE HS256 S3 can be
formatted to any other file system, this does not affect the encryption of the data.
If you would like to use the hard drive with different operating systems, we suggest
using the FAT32 file system, as it is supported by nearly all operating systems (Read/
Write). However, there are restrictions to the file/partition size. Furthermore there are
slight performance differences.
