Your computer, by default, uses Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I chose the same file system for my Pogo. The journaling options slows the files system down a tiny bit, but considering that it is fast enough to use on the primary drive of your desktop computer and you are only accessing the Pogo's drive through the USB port I wouldn't worry about the tiny performance hit.
Case-sensitive files systems aren't typically used in a Mac environment. I would avoid this option completely.
Hi,
I'm experiencing prblems with copying file to my drive attached to the Pogoplug. Maybe it is due to the format(ted) drive. I would like to format with a a Mac. "Disk utility" lets me choose between:
1. Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
2. Mac OS Extended
3. Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
4. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
5. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensistive)
Which should I choose?
Regards, Gerd

CGibson, would the Journalling Slow Down the Download Speed when other people are downloading my files?
