15. NAS file system supported (LAN vs. USB mode)

Recommendation: Format T-series and W-series simple NAS using LAN connection and FAT32 for broadest compatibility and accessibility by all types of OS and users. NTFS file system limits your connection type to USB mode only and is not recommended.

LAN vs. USB mode Before you start using the NAS, please decide if you want to format the drive using LAN connection or USB connection. A NAS drive formatted to FAT32 file system using LAN connection is accessible under LAN mode and USB mode. A NAS drive formatted to NTFS file system using USB connection is accessible only under USB mode and is not be visible when connected to LAN. This FAT32 limitation is common to all simple NAS on the market right now (regardless of brand) and includes our T-series and W-series simple NAS. This does not apply to upcoming high-end NAS by Eagle Tech.

16. Mac OS problem with SMB

Mac OS 10.4 With earlier versions of Mac OS 10.4, the NAS drive can not be accessed through SMB. Please upgrade to Mac OS 10.4.3 or later to resolve this problem.
