Hi..I wanted to buy an external USB hard drive strictly for storage, so just for holding music and video files etc, no programs. Which is the better option for me then, FAT or NFTS? Also, should I have the company that I buy the hard drive from format it for me in FAT or NFTS (for $10) or save myself the money and do it myself, if it's not too complicated? thanks

Hi and welcome. This is a two year old thread, for future reference, it's always best to start your own thread

However, I will answer your question .... just reformat the drive using NTFS.
