That means that you could use a bigger drive, but you have to subdivide it into partitions 128 GB or smaller (Disk Utility should be able to do that). That limit is valid for internal drives; I do not know about external ones (but I think it applies there as well). BTW, there ARE tricks to overcome that 128 GB limits. Here is the one I used back in my G4 days: <https://pareis.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/using-128-gib-or-larger-ata-hard-dr ives/> There are caveats, please read attentively before doing anything. > I noticed when I formatted this thing there were 4 different options > to format this drive for a Mac using Disk Utility.

"Ms-Dos" is good for an external drive that you connect to multiple devices, both Macs and PCs. If you report the 4 different options Disk Utility gave you, I could say more (I'm currently on an Intel iMac, so I go from memory here).
