Revisit of an old old problem that hasn't really changed that much over the years:External drive to be shared between Windows (Boot Camp) + OSX. Used solely to store media for consumption, with very little to no editing. No special permissions required. Size limitations of FAT32 unacceptable.Options:exFATPros: full read+write from both Windows and OSX.Cons: it's a FAT-based system; any other cons?NTFS (+ ntfs-3g)Pros: Great Windows read+write capability.Cons: No write capability from OSX unless I install ntfs-3g. Some write lag under ntfs-3g.HFS+ (+MacDrive)Pros: Great OSX read + write capability.Cons: No write capability from Windows unless I install MacDrive. MacDrive is a hideous piece of software.Willing to expend the effort and money that any of these options involve.

Twelve south plastic magicwand for mac. ExFAT is an improved version of FAT32. It isn’t as efficient as NTFS (Windows) but is cross compatible between Windows OS and Mac OS (since 10.6.5), unlike NTFS and HFS+. I recommend using it when compatibility between Mac and Windows is important. AT32, NTFS, exFAT are three different files systems used to store data in a storage device. Created by Microsoft, these file systems have their own set of pros and cons which will help you choose the correct file system for different needs. Ext2, ext3 and ext4 are all filesystems created for Linux system.

Ninku second stage rarest. Willing to consider other options, but not if the cost (time or money) is significantly higher.Thoughts? I'm interested in efficiency, fragmentation, wear, speed, performance, error rate, etc.
