[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1812021, member: 131855"] Formatting a drive will erase all of the contents on it. Most of these such drives come formatted as FAT 32 because it can be used with both Macs and PCs when formatted that way. Many of these drives come with some software on them (usually encryption software that is of little use to Mac users). If you are sure you will only be using it with Macs go ahead and format it as Mac format. [/QUOTE]
