[QUOTE="nycfonephreak, post: 1507268, member: 284433"] I'm still relatively new to Mac and and very new to Truecrypt - and not understanding why when I create a new Truecrypt container file on my external USB drive (formatted Mac OS Extended) I'm given the option of formatting TC as FAT. Does this mean that in the overall Mac OS Extended drive there will be this small piece of space (TC) that will be formatted FAT? If I do this v. formatting TC for Mac OS will I be able to connect the external drive to a windows computer and mount the TC volume for read/write? Is there any disadvantage to formatting TC as FAT from a Mac performance/compatibility perspective? Either way, I will be keeping the TC containers relatively small (probably under 250MB, if this is relevant to the question about performance. thanks [/QUOTE]
