I have tried both quick format and unchecking it. Then, I have to delete the volume, then create simple volume and select exFat. The only way to format it as exFat seems to be if I go into control panel -> Administrative -> Computer Management -> Disk Management. When I right-click to use format, there is only NTFS option. When I put my SSD in, it shows up as exFat. If anyone else has similar or different experiences with the BMC and their SSD dock, please post a response.I take it nobody has resolved this? I am on Windows 8 64-bit.

Lastly, formatting an large capacity SSD as exFAT is going to take a long time, so sit back and have your favorite snack/drink. In this case always format these SSDs on a Win 7 PC first, because Macs will always read those disks. The second item is that it is common for Windows 7 to not read exFAT SSDs that have been initially formatted on a Mac. It may also be remedied by seeing if there is a driver/firmware/software update for your specific brand of dock. This limitation is not universal to all brands of docks, but mine (a newertechnolgy VoyagerQ, which is a common dock) does it, so there are probably others. Where "z:" is the drive letter that you have assigned the SSD partition in the Windows disk utility. You can, however open a command window (formerly called a "DOS box") and type: First, if you are connecting an SSD to your Windows 7 PC via an external dock (USB 3, Firewire 800 or eSATA), be forewarned that the drivers for these docks may preclude formatting your SSDs as anything but NTFS from the Windows 7 GUI. I assume that the BMC will also be able to access both format types. The BMD Hyperdeck software Version 3.5 was released today, allowing the Shuttle and Studio units to read read not only HFS SSDs, but also exFAT formatted SSDs.

Note, that this post is only indirectly related to the BMC, since most of you do not have a camera in hand.
