macos - USB Drive Format for Reading/Writing 4GB+ Files on OSX and Windows

I am trying to settle on a drive file format which is compatible with OSX and Windows for reading/writing 4GB+ files.

Linux support would be a bonus.

• Using FAT is a no go since it does not support 4GB+ files.


• NTFS - appeared good however, OSX cannot write to this format it can only
  read from it.


• OSX Mac file formats - well, that is not going to play
  nice with anything but OSX is it?


• exFAT- I heard it supports 4GB+
  but there are driver issues I think on OSX?

Anyway, I can't be the first one to look for this, what are other people doing in this regard?

Answer

OS X supports exFAT since 10.6.5. Unless you really need to support older OS X versions you can safely go with exFAT. Linux and FreeBSD might need some fuse-based driver.
