macos - What's the best way to format an external HDD for both OSX and Windows?


Possible Duplicates:
External hard drive how to format it ?
What filesystem to use when using both Windows and Linux?



I have an external HDD (1TB) and I'd like to use it on OSX and Windows.
I had another external HDD using NTFS and I used NTFS-3G on osx to write files, but I found the reading/writing very slow.


Googling a bit I see many people recommend HFS+ in conjuction with HFS Explorer for Windows. Is this the best way ?


Is it possible to have two partitions, one HFS+ and one NTFS ? Is it a good option or is it better to use one partition ?


I've seen this thread on using UDF for USB flash drive. Would that be suited for an USB external HDD ?
