it's the format used on the xbox drives.

Yup; it allows file sizes of 1 exbibyte, which is 1,152,921,504,606,846,976

though; for all the techy details for those who are so inclined, hit the

Supposedly, it lifts the 4 GB file size limitation imposed by fat32, but
I've not tried reformatting one of my ntfs drives to find out. This,
according to what I was able to gather from researching the matter, but I
know nothing of anyone and their personal experience with this means of
formatting.

Hi!
Does anyone know if this Xfat system changes some of the limits in FAT 32?
Would be great if I could skip NTFS but I need it so I can use my
external drives with both Mac and other computers which e.g. are running
WIndows.
Best regards

Morning listers,
Supposedly this is becoming the new standard, and is replacing/has
replaced fat32 with regard to being accessible via both Windows systems, and
the Mac. Have any of you either used this, had experience with this
formatting option, or encountered this particular bit of info? I really only
need to cross-access drives to import my IOS apps, ringtones, etc into
iTunes, however, therein lies the quandary I'm experiencing. That, and it
would be ideal to know this before I potentially reformat my existing drives
for nothing.
Thanks in advance
