I would imagine that once you have the drive up, you can format it to whatever file system you want.

Checking LaCie's site doesn't shine any light on the answer other than the fact that the mini does NTFS and the BigDisk is supposedly the bigger version of this. I pulled the trigger on this and will have it in-hand tomorrow and can check then and post back unless others have already done so
Currently DVD images and other media are kept on my rig in my sig below but I wanted something to offload everything to. If the LaCie won't allow NTFS, I'll be using it as media storage serving content throughout the house. I, like you, wanted to store DVD images but will be satisfied if it won't. If I can just get the mp3's, TV shows/cartoons and divx on the LaCie that will suffice for now. I'm currently storing around 50 images along with the other media but could store 200 or so if the LaCie will just hold the other media.

Could you please transfer a 10+ gig file for me?
Thanks

4 drive failures? I'm gonna play the 'user error' card
It will take 10 Hours 44 Minutes 14.71 Seconds assuming optimal transfers to get 450GB of data onto the HD.Originally posted by: ghart999
Received mine yesterday and got it up and running in 15 minutes. Currently transferring 450GB of media to it. Its taking quite a while from what I expected via 100MB ethernet.

Keep in mind that the file system format cannot be changed.

I see two drives in that screenshot, one showing xfs and the other showing EXT3?

The drive doesn't allow for NTFS formatting. What I did was format with EXT3 filesystem and am installing a driver on my XP boxes called Ext2 Installable File System For Windows. This allows me to map the BigDisk as a network drive to my Windoze boxes. Seems this is the only option since NTFS isn't...
As far as xfer rates go...it took a little over 2 hours to transfer 800+ gigs via 1000mb network. Not bad.
