Hi,
I am a PC User (Sony Vaio E Series).
I am interested in buying an AirPort Extreme for a number of reasons:
*to link it up to my airport express for better wireless signal across across my house.
*to replace my current awful router.
*to hook it up my samsung 1TB portable hard drive, to access it around the house.
The hard drive reason is the most important factor, but I have just found out that the Extreme does not support NTFS formatted hard drives. This is pretty much a deal breaker for me, as I cannot reformat my NTFS drive to FAT32 or HFS+ because I do not have another hard drive to transfer all my content onto it whilst it is being formatted.
And I have a number of files on the drive that are over 4gb.
Is there any way around it? Or is there any evidence to suggest that the Extreme may one day support NTFS? Or is there something that fundamentally stops Apple from producing one that supports it?
Thanks
