Does the WZR-HP-G300NH support NTFS?
« on: July 11, 2009, 06:17:23 AM »
   

Hi,

 

I recently bought a WZR-HP-G300NH, and I'm using a external hard drive to connect to the USB port for torrents. I ran into some problems trying to migrate my old torrent files to the hard drive, and found that some of the files I was torrenting was bigger than 4gb; I can't use a FAT32 drive for it. I tried connecting a external NTFS drive of mine to it, and it was unable to recognize the drive as formatted. So can the WZR-HP-G300NH support NTFS? Its firmware is still the one that came with it, I didn't find any updated firmwares online.

 

Thanks

hello

 

I am not sure but according to the manual downloaded from buffalo, USB device in FAT or XFS format is supported.

The only formats you can use are XFS and Fat32.  XFS is a linux format.

When will you guys (Buffalo) get with the century and add FileSystem support which can handle 4GB+ file sizes, Josh?
