Does the 64GB format to NTFS?

Mine came formatted with the FAT32 file system so I changed it to NTFS and it did it just fine!

Yes it does. It will come formatted with FAT32, so you will have to change it to NTFS, but it is possible.

As stated, it comes formatted in exFat file system -- You can format to NTFS/ext3 however when I did so I lost over half of the drive's write speed. Formatted it back to exFat and it was fast and zippy again. I'm not about to store a file larger than 4gb on a thumbdrive so I'd rather have the speed in exFat. If I need to move or xfer a file larger than 4 gb i'll put it on my external hd. Shame to loose the speed by changing the file system though.

It only needs to be done if you want to save files over 4 GB. There may be some cases where FAT32 is preferred, such as plugging this drive into the USB port of a stand alone DVD player for avi, mp3 files,etc. They may require FAT32 like a flash drive. To format to NTFS right click the external drive under My Computer. Then hit Format.

Yes, I installed a Western Digital WD40EZRX 4tb drive, created a GTP partition, then formated NTFS.

I think you mean NTFS, and yes.. Go to computer management - Disk Management - then format the disk to your needs

I've done it with window 7 on the same drive. But I don't know but I plan to test I have the 64gb supersonic

I formatted mine NTFS, so it only works well for PC. I think if you format FAT32 it should work across operating systems.

Actually it depends on which filesystem you use. The USB stick came formatted in the FAT32 file system which, from what I can tell from online searching, is limited to individual files of 4 GB in size. If you format it to NTFS is should be able to hold much larger files, but not all devices may be able to read the stick.

Technically, YES, it can be formatted to FAT32, but with the filesize limitations, as well as the cluster size for the filesystem, I must beg the question of WHY format it to FAT32? If you want it to be read/write with Mac/PC, then format exFAT. If you want to install DOS/95/98/ME on it, why? Truly, your best option would be exFAT if NTFS is not suitable for your needs.

First you have to format the drive to NTFS if you want to transfer larger than 4gb files. Then you can go to any size of file for a transfer as long as you have room on the memory stick.

64GB SDXC OK.. I formatted as exFAT instead of NTFS. Turn off wireless and connect to PC will be able to read/write files. My 32GB USB has FAT and works OK.

TripMate support windows format USB storage devices (NTFS / FAT 16 / FAT 32)

It depends on the Mac OS Newer (Past 5 Years) OS will recognize NTFS Format

I am using it with a 3.0Gb drive with a NTFS file system. Works like a charm

I don't remember for sure. I think I used 'Convert e: /fs:ntfs' and it only took a few seconds, so even if it's not it's no big deal

Edward, if you format the drive as NTFS, you would only be able to view its contents on a Mac. Writing to the drive would not be possible.

Yes, but it needs FAT32 file format and won't read NTFS* (which is default on most drives). This link shows how to quickly reformat your drive while also making sure you back up your data. http://www.wikihow.com/Format-FAT32

yes, you can't format it to FAT32 it must be formatted to NTFS - there is a dropdown menu and that option is there when you format the drive.
