[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 975264, member: 38928"] It has a 4gb max file size limit because it's using FAT32 as it's file system. You need a mac formatted or NTFS formatted drive to overcome that limit. Mac OSX and windows both natively support FAT32 reading and writing. If you want to maintain that compatibility but store files >4gb in size you'll need one of the solutions I've mentioned above (unless anyone else has futher ideas). [/QUOTE]
