[QUOTE="krs, post: 1812014, member: 67742"] Couple of comments: 1. If one wants to use FAT32 formatting, why reformat at all? All the Flash drives I ever bought were already formatted in FAT32 2. And as to FAT32 formatting, doesn't that limit you as to the number of characters for a file or folder name? I have run into that a few times. If I use the flash drives myself or with other Mac users, I always format them in Mac format - I only use FAT32 if the flash drives have to be read on a Windows machine. 3. Iclev posted that one can use any flash drive with the 2009 iMac - is that really true? The capacity of flash drives has increased to 1 TB, con a 10 year old Mac really handle that. From a practical point of view the statement "can handle any flash drive" is probably true, but it would be good to know what the limit is for the 2009 iMac (if there is a limit) [/QUOTE]
