FWIW, every flash drive I've ever bought (more than a dozen or so)
came formatted FAT32 out of the box.
I would say that it's not only the least common denominator, but
the most
common
denominator.

Hi
All,
I'm not an Apple guy so I thought I might ping fellow
Pluggers who may be familiar with Mac OS.
My son needed to provide a USB flash drive to his science
teacher so the teacher could copy several videos to the
drive. The teacher who uses an an Apple (don't know
make/model) returned the drive as "unreadable" when I know
the device works fine. I gave him another one and things
worked ok. After the fact, I noticed that the "bad" flash
drive was formatted NTFS, while the one that worked was
formatted FAT32.
Can Apple OS read a USB flash
drive if it is formatted with Windows NTFS filesystem?
Or must it be formatted FAT32?
Thanks,
Peter
