Will this harddrive work great with z20 pro if I want to watch full 4k home videos? Is this fast enough? Many thanks for your help!
It'll be plenty fast. Even a 5400 RPM drive is fast enough to stream 4k. I was using a Seagate Compute 5400 RPM 8TB and the only reason I replaced it was to get more storage. I went with a Western Digital Red Pro 14TB. But the Seagate was more than adequate speed wise.
I have now purchased that hard drive and are about to format it in the Zidoo Z20 Pro. I have tried to search on the web after information about choosing Fat32 or NTFS (I am using Mac computers) I’ve read that FAT 32 on ly can manage files up to 4gb. Is this still the case? My files are larger than 4GB. Everyone is saying to use ExFat. But that is not an option you can choose in Zidoo. Do I have to format this via my Mac computer? Or is there a easier way? I don’t have the a connecter to my SATA drive. What is the best option for me!? Many thanks for taking the time!
I've used NTFS for years with all my media players and have never had a issue. Just get a cheap dock for you pc and formatted it that way
