USB stick issue

Mick_Berg · Jun 5, 2015

Hi.
Not a trainz issue but I just bought a sandisk 32g stick to transfer the TANE zip file (8.3g) from one puter to another. It said the file was too big, so I had to transfer the .bin files individually. Since when has a USB (3.0) stick had that kind of limitation?
Thanks,
Mick Berg.

Probably formatted with fat32 which has a 4GB file size limit and not NTFS which is virtually unlimited for our purposes

You're probably right, but I thought this thing would be the latest and greatest.
Thanks,

I always format my new USB drives as NTFS as a matter of principle, as FAT32 *does* have a 4gb *limit* on what file sizes it can store, whereas NTFS seems to have no limit (at least that I've yet seen).
