    EXFAT and NFTS compatibility


    I have an external SSD drive for file storage/archiving (Oyen), formatted EXFAT. My Dell w/Windows 10 is NFTS. Will there be any problems or speed issues using this combo, or is it necessary to convert the External Drive to NFTS?

    :)

    Formating to exFAT

    Hi Taylor,

    If you want to format an external hard drive or USB flash drive in exFAT, you can follow these steps:



    • Press and hold Windows key + x on your keyboard. This open the context menu.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type format g: /FS:exFAT and then Enter to begin formatting the G drive as exFAT
    For any query, feel free to reach us.

    If anyone hasn't heard of exFat, take a look at this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT

    Just swapped to exFat on all my portable drives. I got really frustrated with 4Gb file limitations on my portable drives, as well as limited partition sizes. And i don't use Linux or any other OS to much (Tho i should probably have a Linux box built just for formatting drives). And now that there's a patch for XP as well to support compatibility, i believe its worth it.

    exFat

    All though my 1st thought was ExFat and how to get rid of that ex gf LMAO.

    I knew it mean extended and since XP i've only used fat32 once with it witch was a total fail. There is programs that allow you to see Linux from XP visa versa.

    NTFS has always worked best for me.
