    Re: External HDD Advice?

    I thought about partitioning into 2 different drives. I'm going to avoid Fat32 altogether, I doubt I'll be listening to any music on a TV or PS3 when I have my iPhone.
    I have heard of exFat working randomly on a few TV's, so I may have an extra partition when I get the HDD just to see if my TV plays nice.

    The reason I threw the separate partitions out the window was because of the I need all of my music/movies on one partition. You can relocate your iTunes library to an external HDD. If i separate the partitions and relocate the iTunes library to the external I would have to do it on both partitions and update them both as I got more music and movies. Just a bigger hassle, but it looks like the better option now.

    I'm leaning towards NTFS now, the only reason I really want the HFS+ is because of the compatibility with Xbox 360 to watch movies. So, get the NTFS (which is cheaper) put the iTunes library on it, get paragon (read/write program) for my Mac, and double the video files and put them on a separate HFS+ partition. So I guess that separating the partitions is probably the best option.

    Thanks for your input!
