Then you may work with large FAT32 partitions. I have two 192GB FAT32 and no problem. USB drives are handled different way (mass storage is something like SCSI protocol) and it shouldn't be affected. I use 1TB external USB drive as well. But there are bugs in windows scandisk and defrag, it works on 192G partition but not on 1TB. I guess that FAT is too large or I don't know. I use Norton utilities anyway. For partitioning I used PQ Magic.
