I have a 1 TB wd mybook that I can use with both win and lin and comes with ntfs.
The ntfs is somewhat slow under linux, at least the way I use it, so I split it into an ext4 and an ntfs. I use rsync with the --link-dest so that identical files share hard links among backups. What was so slow before was deleting the oldest backup directory when it was on the ntfs partition (now it takes 5 seconds instead of 90 minutes). Hope that helps, Greg On Feb 19, 9:31 am, Matt Stine <matt.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > All, > > Can anyone recommend a good external drive (preferably USB, >= 1 TB) > that will play nicely across Windows, Mac, and Linux machines?
