unless the Infinity unit doesn't have a firmware update to support NTFS.

My Infinity unit is running firmware 1.0.2, which is stuck with exFAT. There is an update, version
1.0.6, that adds NTFS support, but upgrading feels like playing Russian roulette since I've heard stories about people bricking their hardware during the process.
The receiver is only two months old and still under warranty, and since manufacturers won't touch a claim if you mess up a firmware flash, I'm sticking with
exFAT for now. Once the warranty expires, then maybe I'll take the risk with the new firmware.👍

Right-click the drive, hit properties, then format...
just pick the one you need.

At least, that's how it's supposed to work.

Yeah, you're right. Do it that way. Thanks.

I have a question. What's the standard format for these new external drives? Is it exFAT or
NTFS? If it's NTFS, can I just reformat it back to exFAT and vice versa?
I need exFAT because my Infinity receiver only supports FAT, and I really don't
want to mess with its firmware since it's still under warranty.

Appreciate the response.😉

And what would a 250 GB external drive run me?
