[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 451759"] If this external is only to be used with your MacBook and you don't care about Windoze compatibility, why not reformat the drive in OS X's native HFS+ format? That way you won't get any file size limits and I would imagine OS X has less contortions to do to read it. Just run Apple's DiskUtility (in the Utilities folder) on it by highlighting it in the sidebar and choose reformat in HFS+. [/QUOTE]
