does Macs support NTFS or just normal FAT32? i just got a new external, and normally i use NTFS on Windows, so was wonder if NTFS would work once ive formatted it on that?
 
why can it read but not write? does it only read and write on FAT32?

thats a bit strange, i would have thought theyd use NTFS too, seeing as its a tad faster.
 
isnt NTFS better than FAT though? you dont need to defrag it as much as you would with FAT, and you get to fit much more on the HDD than you would with a FAT drive...
