file system Mac ( content )

[Tachy]

Hi guys, I bought recently an external hard drive for my iMac, what is the best system file? Mac os extended or Mac os extended journaled??? or ther is another alternatives?

 

[Stillborn]

I'd recommend journaled since it's supposed to be safer for the data...

 

[Tachy]

umm, but what is the difference? mac os extended journaled and Mac os extended?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I actually don't know the difference but it's just what I have always used. The downside with either though is that they are read only on a PC.

 

[Stillborn]

As i said, the difference is that journaling makes data safer...

Have a good read...

One is journaled and the other isn't?

stillborn beat me to it.

 

[Tachy]

I think that for audio aplicatio at this point is better to disable journaled.....

 

[Noumenon]

I use journaled on every disk.

 

[beyond dead]

what daw are you using? do you wish to use the hard drive with only macs, or with a pc aswell? are you going to record to this disk?


(edit..... i see now your using nuendo sorry)

I use HFS+ on everything that doesn't get used by Mac and PC, in which case I go with FAT32.

 

[Stillborn]

I use HFS+ on my mac... I used to have MacDrive on my pc (that I no longer have) but I bought the paragon thing for mac that makes NTFS writable & readable on a mac (cool thing).

 

[Tachy]

I use the hard drive only for recording, and only for my iMac.

Then use the HFS+ Journaled.
