Can I use an 80 GB or 100 GB or 160 GB hard disk? Is there a limit or is itit any disk size. Is it the FAT 32 format, then I would think 127 or so GB is the maximum. Does anybody know?
Thinking of getting an 2.5 disk?

I believe the max for E4, FAT or not, is 18GB.

I think for EOS 4.7 the limit is something like 137GB. I am running a 40GB drive in my E4XT Ultra just fine.

Thanks for the correction, I think you are right (137GB).

The FAT format isn't exactly FAT32 although it's close. They call it EOS FAT. It really was a bad idea to be non-standard with it.

They strongly recommend not hooking it up to a computer, but wasn't that mostly the point???

At least the naming convention was built to be numerically viable with the old EMu format, since FAT doesn't have the concept of numbered files.

It's not that bug a deal, but one major incompatibility is that if you have Banks that have non-standard DOS names they aren't saveable unless you change the Bank name. There was a way around this - simply make the Bank name internal to the Bank and have the file name be something entirely different.

But now I'm rambling...

GREAT!

Any how I think 80 or eve 100 would be more than plenty!!!

Thanks for the info!!
