[QUOTE="mcsenerd, post: 89654, member: 9677"] Oh it's not called clinging...it's called being a computer professional and needing the utmost compatibility possible. If this were an external drive for my own use only on machines that I know would always support NTFS...then sure...why not use NTFS it is a much better system IMHO as well. But when you're never sure what server or PC you'll be working on tomorrow...I assure you that you'll err on the side of compatibility as well. All I'm saying is that in all the times I've used my drive...I've never had an issue with performance...I use it most often for taking Ghost images of servers I work on...so the only issue I run up into often is FAT32's 4 GB per file limitation. Oh well...the verison of ghost that we use is only compatible with external drives formatted with FAT32...so I guess I'll just have to live with it. [/QUOTE]
