mac - Which is the best file system to use in an external hard drive?






I've bought a Samsung S2 500GB External Hard Drive. The disk came with FAT32 file system, but I formatted it to NTFS to use large files in it, but now I can't write the disk on Mac OS X. Which file system should I use that is compatible with large files and Mac OS X/Windows reading and writing?


Answer



try exFAT, which becomes available for more and more OSes. OS X supports it since 10.6.5, Windows supports it since Vista. There are updates for oler Microsoft OSes.


exFAT supports large files.
