Formatting a WD MyBook

[Iraklis F.C.]

alright guys bought a Mybook today (500GB) and tried to format it to NTFS only to find this notice which i have no clue about it. What should i do?

because iirc it will be a fat32 system [works like a big usb pen!]

if its ntfs then you loose the usb safe remove feature

Not seen that before, you can 'safely remove' NTFS drives just fine. Go into device manager and find the drive, disable write caching or set it for quick removal - or something alone those lines,
