[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 619845, member: 8287"] Yes, the single file size limit in FAT32 is 4GB or less. If you have a file right at 4GB it will error if you try to copy it to a FAT32 Partition. For most average users that is not really an issue but if you are into Video Editing, file size gets quite large. I have had videos I was working on grow to 25GB and more before I saved and converted to the final product. Few other files are that large though. It really depends on what you do on your computer. You can make it NTFS as long as you get Paragon or MacFuse in OSX. On the Windows side though you can get Mac Drive and both read and write to a Mac formatted partition. So you have a few options.
