Hello as per as I know about the USB (universal storage bus) storage.it has no effect with PCH setup.

No need to format the EXT3. Use it like regular Data traveller of your PC. Although If you want to format  then format it ,It will increase speed but technically it’s not necessary.

Windows Home Server how to format EXT3

Hi,

As I can see you are using Linux and to add any storage device, it needs to have a filesystem and in order to do that, you need to create partitions and need to format the storage disk with ext3 file system. To format a Linux partition you can use this command
mkfs -t ext3 -v -L usbdisk /dev/sdb1
