RE: External Harddrive
I asked Adeptus about this just a couple weeks ago.
To me, I think he offered the best explanation I've ever heard.
The one of advantages of a removable disk in FAT32 is the aforementioned portability.
If you're to store hundreds or thousands of small-sized files, or perhaps some files that are more than 4 GB in size each (like a DVD image), then NTFS is your choice.
Moreover, you can always convert it from FAT32 to NTFS anytime, but you will have to lose all your data if you want it to be converted to FAT32.
I believe my explanation was a bit incomplete but that's what I remember, therefore I invite anyone to add or to fix my comment.
