Reference
Users of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 must have Service Pack 2 or later and install
an update to support exFAT. Windows Vista must be Service Pack 1 or later for exFAT support.
The NVS2825 cannot be read by any version of Windows prior to Windows XP.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5 and later can fully access exFAT file systems.
A computer can only recognize the internal HDD/SDD of the NVS2825. A computer cannot
recognize an external USB HDD or any memory cards that are connected to the NVS2825.
Thus, the NVS2825 cannot be used as a memory card reader.
If connecting to the NVS2825 via USB, use the back slot of the computer. The front slot might
not be able to process the high speed of the signal.
