Re: Partitioning external HDD pros & cons

Quick answers... 1. Depends on your intended use: if you want to use it for data storage only, the easiest route would be to make a single partition and format it with NTFS (or even FAT32, if you plan to read from it on different computers); 2. It's your choice, first one for higher data safety, sec...
