[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1122470, member: 24160"] If all you're doing is transferring data files back and forth, I tend to use NTFS for that drive. I use Paragon's NTFS for Mac which also comes with a driver to allow Windows to read HFS drives, although, I haven't had the need to use it as all of my machines are networked. If you're using the drive as a backup to your Mac, you should be using HFS. I've been using the Paragon software for about 3 years and have not noticed any data corruption (knock on wood). [/QUOTE]
