[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 109053, member: 3850"] The downside to using FAT32 would be that some mac files can't be stored there, due to naming restrictions I believe: My old iMovie 4 projects for example can't be stored on a Fat 32 drive and iMovie 5 projects seem to run very slow off my Fat32 drive - despite the fact that it is otherwise identical to my external HFS+ formatted drive.
