NTFS or exFAT?
lMarchel:
Just as the topic's name reads :P.
I want to know what format should I format my hard disk into?
What is the BEST for keeping the files & doesn't have a limit on the file size?
I need help as a fast as possible...
P.S : I think I may have this topic in the wrong section... If so, I'm sorry ;)
AceHigh:
NTFS, it is a decent file system
Lupin:
Pick NTFS. It has wider OS support than exFAT
Size limits should be a problem unless the files are exabytes big.

There's a bunch of good reasons why you have to jump through all sorts of hoops just to convince 7 to install on an exFAT partition. NTFS shits all over it in terms of data integrity and OS integration. exFAT is simply meant to replace FAT32 for usb flash drives.

Thanks for the feedback both of you!
But what is the limit for the file size on the NTFS?
Please don't tell me it's 4 GB or something like that... I have files that are almost 10 GB on me :(
And what is the best "OVERALL"
My Windows system is Vista BTW!
