For other files you may need to convert them into Windows file format to make them work. Regarding transferring of files, the NTFS system is not compatible with MAC OS X so make sure your thumb drive is formatted with the FAT system. To make things simple there is also something called MacDrive which you can use. Hello Lynn,

I see that you know a lot about USB drives. I have a basic question. If I have a large file on a MAC computer and want to save it to a thumb drive to be used on a PC, is this possible and what do you recommend in terms of hardware and settings? Hi there.
