Mac Starter Tutorial: USB disk Format compatible win and OS X how to set? In the current environment, users often interact with Win and OS X, with the following scenarios:

(1), the need for long-term storage of data, less interaction;

(2), frequent interaction, the file is completely less than 4GB;

(3), frequent interaction, the majority of files greater than 4GB.

In the first case, it is recommended that you use the NTFS format, because it is more stable, not prone to bad, you can use Paragon NTFS to read and write under OS X, download the trial version, the second case, please use the FAT32, the advantage is faster, the disadvantage is not to support copying more than 4GB files In the third case, use exFAT, the speed is slower than the FAT32, but the copy will not have the file size limit.

Note that exFAT only supports OS X 10.6.3 and Windows XPSP2 above, and if there is a chance that the EXFAT long-term storage data is bad, even though the little one has not experienced it personally, the data is priceless or prudent.

In OS X to convert the U disk to FAT32 or exFAT is very simple, Launchpad, select the "Other" folder, select "Disk Utility"

Here, click "Erase" and then you can choose the format, OS X 10.10 System can also follow this step, only a few micro-two interface. Make sure to back up the files on the U disk.
