With additional programs it could be possible to read
or write on file systems, on which it usually is not
possible.
The DIGITTRADE Security Hard Drive RS256 is
at the time of delivery already preformatted in the
NTFS file system. In the table above you can see
the compatibility of NTFS to your operating sys-
tem. Should NTFS not be suitable to your operating
system, you will have to format the hard drive again
(see chapter: “Partitioning / Formatting”, p.42).
For windows users we recommend using NTFS.
For Mac OS X is HFS+ the most powerful
file system and for Linux you should use EXT4.
Naturally, it is also possible to format the
DIGITTRADE Security Hard Drive RS256 with every
other file system. This does not affect the security
features.
If you want to use the hard drive using different
operating systems, we recommend to use
the FAT32 file system, since it can be read
and written by almost every operating
system. However, it will cause reductions in the
maximum file size and partition size. Furthermore
there will be performance differences.
