Re: NTFS vs FAT32

One advantage of NTFS over FAT32 is reliability, NTFS is much more reliable
and disk repair applications seldom need to be run on an NTFS system. Also,
large volumes (over 1Gb) are accessed much quicker using NTFS. A bonus
using NTFS is the ability to use file encryption, you can lock individual
files or folders for high levels of security. With NTFS you can create
dynamic disk arrangements to group multiple hard drives into one large
drive. And you can use permissions to enable you to configure files and
folders to be accessible to specific people or groups of people, useful
when you network multiuser systems. The only reason to stay with FAT32 is
if you intend to have a dual boot system and want access to all disk
partitions using Win 3.x, Win95, Win98, etc, because those versions cannot
access NTFS volumes.
