1) Discs in FAT format are limited to 2GB
2) Discs in Filecore format are limited to 256GB,
but may not work over 128GB over USB.
I would not recommend such a device even if it worked. Instead look at cheap
network attached drives, which do not have size limitations when accessed via
LanmamFS (SMB) or Sunfish (NFS), and are far quicker than USB 2.
