ANS. There is no limitation with USB connection. With Firewire connection, the maximum partition size is limited to 127GB with the NTFS or HFS+ file systems due to the Oxford 911 chipset. If you have a drive larger than 127GB you will need to create more than one partition to use the enclosure effectively. There is no size limitation for the FAT32 file system. An IDE hard drive of any capacity can also be used regardless of file size.
