[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1494735, member: 38864"] I'll add to the recommendations for using 3rd party software to support NTFS. Besides the file size limitations, FAT32 is just a very antiquated file system that is lacking a lot of features present in NTFS and Apple's HFS+ that help ensure data integrity. It's adequate for devices like USB thumb drives for temporarily storing files to be moved between computers, but for long-term use with anything you value, avoid FAT32 like the plague. [/QUOTE]
