Hi Kevin, you can have multiple partitions even on an external HDD. Or do you really need one big partition which works on all 3 OS? For Win and OS X I'd use exFAT. OS X AFAIK doestn't have write support on NTFS enabled by default. And then for Linux a native FS like ext4,btrfs,XFS or whatever you personally prefer. Though the best would be indeed 3 partitions for each OS. NTFS for Windows And then HFS+ for OS X For example I use on my backup HDD NTFS for Windows and btrfs for my Linux Systems
