>using NTFS unironically
Holy shit why?
what am i suppose to use?
if i use HFS+ i can't write to it on my windows computer, if i use NTFS i can't write to it on my mac, if i use fat32 i can't even store any of my movies??
windows has to use NTFS...if people could run windows on ext4 im sure they would
if I remember correctly, ExFAT, gets around both of those limitation (4gb limit, and works with both OS's)
Why not use ext2/3/4. You can read and write on Windows at least using those systems. I don't know nor care to about Apple®™
>ExFAT
does not work with ps3 or xbox and as you can see is not set to default format in any os.
Download NTFS drivers for Mac.
Tuxera makes a decent paid driver.
you can't write to ext4 natively under windows without using non standard drivers/programs
if it was possible im sure everyone would do it
protip: install windows 7 on your mac
That's what I did. We should have never gotten macs man, now I understand why they only make up like 5% of all computers out there.
why would exfat be a default file system? it lacks all kinds features.
it was meant for portable drives, and is the correct choice here desu.
exfat is SLOW AS FUCK but the only other option is to install some experimental drivers for his mac or his pc. ext4/ntfs/hps+ all are much much much faster than exfat
Pirate/buy Paragon NTFS or Tuxera NTFS.
>doesn't work with PS3 and xbox
why didn't you mention this before?
You want it to plug in game consoles, OSX, and Windows, and no 4gb limit? You can't have everything.
i also want to plug it into my old solaris box and my windows ME machine
whats the best file system for that?
i had a USB flash drive that i formatted with my mac and it was max 4gb even though it was a 32gb flash drive
i reformatted multiple times on my windows/mac and even chaning all the options from fat to ntfs etc.
I threw that bitch away.
>Wastes money on MacBook
>Buys cheapest HDD brand
Hehe somebody wants to get his shit corrupted
Tuxera or paragon extfs for mac

macfag doesn't know about ng-ntfs
had to check the repos... its ntfs-3g.. lol
Use exFAT. Or just do HFS and use an application on Windows that can access it like Transmac.
Get out, you reddit cuck attention whore.
Install Windows in a VM, route USB HDD through to the VM guest, share the HDD in Windows with the Host and slowly learn to hate Windows.
transmac
