Description

I tried testing a couple of different storage drives. The 64gb one formatted as exFAT was not recognized and the 32gb one formatted as Fat32 was. What is the expected behavior and what drives and formats are supported?

Does it make sense to have a eject button on the USB devices section of the System Tab? I realize this wasn't supported by the roboRIO and isn't a required just a nice to have. I also know that I could probably do an unmount manually but that isn't something a typical user would know.
