About file system formats
Windows File System Formats:
There are three types of file systems in Windows today:
NTFS, FAT32 and ExFAT. If you are only going to use
the disk in Windows use NTFS. If you want to create
compatibility with other operating systems use ExFAT
because FAT32 has file size limitations. Use FAT32 if you
intend to use the disk in operating systems that are not
current. (Windows XP or Mac OS 9.X).
Mac File System Formats:
There are two types of file systems in Mac today: APFS
and HFS+. Although it supports FAT32 and ExFAT
Windows file systems.
If you are using macOS from High Sierra you can use
APFS, for previous Mac systems use HFS+.
