How do you know it's FAT32 formatted and hence limited to 4GB files? It's a network attached storage device, which means your computer connects to the software running on it. I doubt that it's FAT32 ... since it doesn't mention a file size limit, it's likely formatted as NTFS. You wouldn't reformat the drive.
 
Don't try to reformat it - it'll quit working.

It's highly unlikely that it's FAT32 formatted - more likely to be a Linux filesystem (embedded linux being the OS of choice for most of these network drives).

However, if you want full HFS compatibility, take a look at the Synology range which are about the most Mac-friendly NAS drives around.
 
so if it runs through another operating system. will I be able to play large games like WoW on it?

how will my macbook pro (or shoot, maybe i'll send it to the TV) be able to handle that system?

will be interesting to see more reviews on this...
