Buffalo Drivestation 2Share NTFS

[lisko]

   Well I was actually just looking for a USB storage. Then found this one and bought this cause it also works through network. I had no idea it doesn't support files bigger than 4g and I really need that feature. Is it possible the to partition it in two parts. Other side in NTFS and other in Fat32. So that network features and files accessed would only work on fat32 but both would be accessible through usb? The thing is that I want to connect the storage to my TV (it supports USB connection) through usb and play some homevideos through it. Sometimes their sizes exceeds 4gs and in that case I could move the files using usb. But in other cases I could use network to move files into it.

That MIGHT work... if it did, the first partition would need to be FAT32. However, the device was not designed for that use, so it may or may not work.

   I tried that myself.... didn't work. Drive needs to be formatted FAT32 as one drive for NAS to work
