I have a Marantz bodycam that I'd like to connect to this drive. Anyone have any experience doing so (a GoPro would likely be treated the same)? For some reason the Marantz can be "squirrelly" about mounting under Linux and I wouldn't want to run into the same problem with the My Passport.
Asked by: David
This drive can be reformatted to whichever file system works best with your body cam.
