Q:

external hard drive can not copy the data capacity of more than 6GB

I recently bought an external hard drive with 500GB capacity. hard drive is still in new condition and vacant. but when I would copy a file larger than 6GB hard drive can not copy the file. if I copy the file size of less than 6BG, the file can be copied.
what causes it?

A:

Some filesystems (such as FAT32) have a 4GB limit on file sizes
Some cheap hard drives are fake
