DROBO/File Format question


  • Subject: DROBO/File Format question

Dont know if anyone else has gone down the Drobo route for storage...

I originally set mine up as a FAT32 drive - which i have now discovered
means i cant copy BluRay etc. to it as it has a 4gig limit ?

Its looks like i might have to move everything off of it to format it to
NTFS. What i'm uncertain about is that the user guide says it should stay
as
FAT32 if i want a Mac to read the data.

Can anyone confirm this is correct - i thought in the past i had connected
to my PC and read files from it on a Linux box which were in NTFS format.
I'm a bit stuffed if i cant read NTFS formatted files as i want to use the
Drobo as movie storage for Plex too.



Thanks



Dean.
