A: Yes, you can format it to NTFS, and it is excellent as a system and image backup device (only it is slower than 3.0)...just open the Device Manager and look for your USB drive under the "Disk Drives" area. Right click on that flash drive and select properties, then choose the "Policies" tab and select "Optimize for performance" option. Then you should be good to go.
Q: can I backup my 70 gig pc to this? will it work?
