I don't find my answer on the web, or on this forum, so I'm asking the question. I would like to buy an external hard drive that I'll use on Mac OSX and on Windows, but I don't know the best file system for it (reading and writing on the both system).

I know I can used FAT32 easily, but I have files bigger than 4GB so I can't used this system.

So, I think for NTFS or HFS, but I know I can use on the two systems with software, but I don't know the fastest one to transfer files. Also, I don't know if I can use ext3 or ext4.

If someone know one of the best way to use an external drive on Windows and Mac without used FAT32, say it to me.

Thank you.
