    External Hard Drives
    « on: October 18, 2009, 08:10:28 PM »
    Does anybody know of a good external hard drive I can find that uses the NTFS file format?  I looked at Microcenter's site and came across this one:

      I have x2 500 Gig Fantom Drives that I've had for going on 3 years now, I love them I can't make any promises about them using NTFS file format. I'm 90% sure they do but go http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822204042 that's where I bought them from. I've never had a problem with them.

      Any name brand will be fine. I use a couple of Maxtor drives and have never had any problems, but Seagate, WD, IBM, etc will be fine. And you can use NTFS with ANY drive - it's just a file system.
