So on blackfriday on going to buy a 1tb exhd...
I plan to partition 200gb for time machine and the rest for more storage space...

I have dual boot and would like to be able to access data on both ends...

Ok for starters Fat32 is out of the question (I plan on using the external for a lot of movies).

So here my debate... go NTFS and use Paragon..

Or go HFS and buy mediafour..

Which one do you guys think will there be less likely hood of data loss in the future or corruption..?

(I plan to use the majority of the time in Leopard so im leaning towards HFS and mediafour).
