IntrusDave Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Other than NTFS's advantage of larger than 4GB file sizes, what is the preferred filesystem for the NEX units? Does FAT32 or NTFS offer any advantages with our units? Maybe one is faster? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 The only files that are going to be over 4 gb, are video files, and the NEX will not play anything over 4 gb anyway. The fat32 is how all my drives, cards etc are formatted. I can not remember why i changed from NTFS, but it had to do something with categorizing the files, or resuming where left off. I first tried NTFS and had an issue, and since changed. I don't think either is faster than the other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
03Aviator Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I actually believe Pioneer states you must use fat32...which surprised me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhren Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I actually believe Pioneer states you must use fat32...which surprised me. The operation manual lists file system: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
03Aviator Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 jhren, sure enough...I had to look for myself. My information didn't come from the manual though. It came from the website. I can't recall exactly where, but it was specific to FAT32 only. I'll have to find it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
