Exfat Vs Ntfs For External Hard Drive

NOTE TO PC USERS: You might need to format the drive as EXFAT instead of NTFS to copy from the iPad to the drive. I'm surprised at how small this drive is. It's smaller than my card reader. When used with USB C connection (PC), it is crazy fast at moving files. It connected to my iPad Pro flawlessly and plays HD from the drive with no lag. It looks like it was designed to match iMacs and other apple devices (looks great). I'm a PC myself. This drive does not work with my iPhone 11Pro max. I believe it only works with tablets and PC/Macs.

The drive is fast and completely quiet, but if you use it with Windows, you should format it as NTFS. It comes as an exFAT, which will work with Mac and Windows, but with Windows it is slow and annoying. The drive has it's own software for formating, but that requires you to be online. Since I use this drive with a DAW that stays offline, I used Windows 10 formating option when I clicked on Properties. Quick format was instantaneous.

It comes NTFS formatted but can be easily formatted to exFAT to be used by both Mac and Windows. Its pure plug and play. Works like a snap. There are some WD utilities provided but may not be useful for all folks.

Reformatted to NTFS as window10 not like exFAT. I moved 13 full Blu-ray movies at speed of 175mb. Not scorching fast but 5 minutes to move 30gig file.............. So far happy.

I divided this into two partitions, the regular exFAT and encrypted one to use both interchangeably under Win10 and Linux. NTFS has some nusty quirks you know. exFAT is what you need to make it working everywhere.
