[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1644915, member: 24160"] Personally, I format all drives that will go back and forth between OS X and Windows as NTFS. Don't use FAT32 (MS-DOS FAT in that list) nor do I use ExFAT due to being non-journaled. However, I have to recommend you get rid of Tuxera and NTFS 3G. My guess, you used one of those to format the drive. There are lots of posts around the web referencing data loss from those using them - including one here just in the last couple of weeks. Get Paragon's NTFS for Mac. Been using it since the first beta (around 7 years now) and don't believe I've ever even read about an issue with it. It is well worth the $20. I have formatted drives as NTFS on my Macs when I was too lazy to walk to the other side of the house, but I'd say best practice would be to format them in Windows. [/QUOTE]
