“Can this hard drive be formatted to FAT32? My NVR only sees this formatting. DOSFAT and exFAT don't seem to work.”

• No, only NTFS (which is the default in Windows) or exFAT in Windows. Maybe if you created smaller partitions each could be formatted as FAT32.

• Yes although in windows you may need to format it with a 3rd party tool. Windows limits fat32 to 32gb partitions. The fat32 technology itself is limited to 2tb partitions. So you would need to break up this drive into smaller chunks to use it all. I would check with your nvr company before buying. Seems strange to not support exfat in this day and age.
