[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1658974, member: 46727"] NTFS by design will generally be formatted in 4K clusters on most hard drives within limits regardless of size. HFS+ doesn't use that scheme, so in effect Jake is correct about the same amount of data taking up less space in HFS+. Also, NTFS carries with it a lot of meta data that requires extra space. HFS+, a lot less. [/QUOTE]
