Advanced Settings
Disk Management (Disk Format)
To format a hard drive or array, select it from the Target Disk dropbox. Choose the file system desired from the File System dropbox (internal drives can only be formatted with XFS). Note that FAT32 has a 4 gigabyte file size limit. If you choose FAT32 for your file system, you will not be able to store files larger than 4 gigabytes on the drive. Buffalo Technology recommends the XFS file system. Press Select Target Disk when done.
Depending on the size of the target hard disk or array, a Disk Format may take several hours to complete.
