Mac OS Journaled is the formatting option for Mac and NTFS or MS-Doc is the formatting option for PC. But to get a hard drive to be compatible for both Mac and PC, you have to choose the exFAT. Question: Q: Which format to use exfat vs fat32 vs HFS+. I Really want to make the switch to Mac OS, but will also install Windows as a backup. HFS+, exfat or Fat32? Are there any performance differences? I used Fat32 on an external disk for my MBA and am not impressed that file sizes are limited to 4GB max. Thus exFat looks more appealing.
