We were not able to make these files work in any workstation we have here in house. (Pyramix, Nuendo, Sequoiatude, Wavelab, Protools). However, FAT-32 worked fine. The files play back fine fromthe NTFS volume in the X48, just not in a computer.
Gigabit ethernet is fine for a 10 min 48 track file, but it is not viable to transfer a 300gb drive. (It takes more hours to transfer the files than it takes to record them in the first place.)

No, you can format disks from the X-48.
See above. NTFS formatted drives have bad permissions........Hmm, Where did I hear that before? ;-)
All the best,
