5.1 FAQ

Q: How do I format my storage solution?

A: OWC has detailed instructions online for most popular operating sys-

tems, located at: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/formatting.cfm

Q: What le system should I choose when formatting my drive?

A: This will depend on how you want to use the drive, but in general we

recommend:

• Mac OS X : HFS + (Mac OS Extended)

• Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 : NTFS

• For cross-platform compatibility, FAT32 will work, but single le sizes are

limited to 4GB. Other options using 3rd party software exist but are not

covered here.

Q: Will the hard drive spin down when my computer goes to sleep or into

stand-by mode?

A: Yes, it will spin down to save energy. It will take about 30 seconds to ac-

cess your data after being in sleep or stand-by mode.

5.2 About Data Protection

To ensure that your les are protected and to prevent the loss of your data,
