Hard Drive Formats
It is recommended to format your hard drive before using with Monument, but it is not required. This can be done on a computer or laptop following the articles below.
Supported File Systems:
- NTFS (Windows - recommended)
- FAT32 (Windows)
- Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (Mac - recommended)
- exFAT (Windows/Mac)
Tip: Format to exFAT so that the hard drive can work on both Windows and Mac.
Note: Network attached storage (NAS) devices currently are not compatible with Monument.

i have an 4Tb WD MyBook Duo external hard drive which contains 2 hard drives and is currently working in RAID 1. It is not empty, it contains about 3 Tb of photo's already. Can i safely connect this to my monument without loosing everything?
@DanielRoozing
Monument currently does not support RAID devices. You will need to use a regular USB external hard drive. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us here or at support@getmonument.com.
