A wrapper volume is a mac standard HFS volume containing a HFS+
volume and is a way of getting around the lack of HFS+ support. Shouldn't
be attributable to the ram.
Does the drive support HFS+? If it doesn't and you are formatting it
as a HFS+ it may be putting the HFS+ volume inside a HFS wrapper.
Best way around it is to format all volumes standard HFS and
reinstall OS.
