Hey Crimsonredmk,

I've been testing with all the supported systems, and I haven't noticed that one is noticeably faster than the other (aside from FAT32 being very slow). The differences, performance-wise, might become important if you're doing very large reads/writes; otherwise I'd say whichever you like best. If it were me, I'd go with NTFS since my primary systems are currently Windows-based - if I were mostly on Macs I'd lean towards HFS+, but again - not a strong preference.

I've just found out that it won't run Mac's Journaled file system at all. The drive and partitions show up but that is all. I was guessing FAT 32 was the only way a mixed network can benefit but I hadn't thought about ext3. Also, may try unjournaled just for fun.

Thanks,

Alan

I got my answer here. http://www.pogoplugged.com/forum/thread/11812/Can-Mac-remotely-read-write-Pog...

EXT3 and HFS(+) are probably the fastest...any word on EXT4 support?

Since the pogoplug is basically acting as a proxy (to remote machines) for any storage that is USB-connected to it, and it is running Linux, does it really matter what file system you use as long as it works well with the pogoplug implementation? Frankly, I'd figure that using a Linux flavor would be the most ideal. For example ext3.

I use ntfs and compress files to maximize storage, it buys me about 5-10% more space on the hard drives.
