Hi, Its been formatted using the original FAT file system, which has a maximum size of 2gb. It becomes quite inefficient greater than around 500 mb, I think, and this is then where FAT32 is used. For anything less than 2GB though I would probably still use FAT, as it is readible by more devices IMHO.
