WDPassportExternal NTFS conflict/internal OS FAT32?
I'm pretty sure i'm in the right place to ask this question......
Will there be a conflict of some sort?
I just got a western digital external passport. I don't know if ones are formatted differently but this one is formatted for FAT32
Link to the External Specifications:
WD Support / Installation / My Passport / My Passport Essential
Now that i think about it.... aren't all externals formatted as FAT32 or at least specific ones?
I don't know much about the uses, pros, or cons of different formats, so i guess thats why i'm asking.
My internal HDD (not sure what brand, the computer is intel) is formatted for NTFS.
1.) If I move and transfer large files of different format types at the same time, or a lot of little files with different formats, will i have problems?
2.) Is there anything that I need to watch out for?
3.) Should i format my OS drive/partition to work better with the external?
4.) If i'm a gamer, what would be the best format to use for my OS drive?
Thanks for all responses!!!!
