Formatting with FAT32 (Mac)

FAT32 formatting is recommended if the MiniStation Air will be used with non-Windows computers such as Macs.
After formatting with FAT32, only files of 4 GB or smaller can be saved to the drive. This is the default format on the
drive. If the drive has been reformatted with NTFS and you want to use it with a Mac, follow the procedure below to
reformat it with FAT32 from your Mac.
Note: HFS+ is not recommended for this drive because it is not compatible with iOS and Android devices. If you
accidentally reformatted the drive with HFS+, use the procedure below to restore it to FAT32 from your Mac.
