Hi all. I'm building/built a new Hackintosh that will multi-boot with Windows 10 Pro.
So does anyone know of any reason for me to not use the exFAT file system on this proposed shared document drive? Or does anyone have a better suggestion for shared drive interoperability?
Secondly, would I be better of having both OS's on there own SSD's (960 EVO SATA III) and use the very fast 960 Pro M.2 PCIe drive (3500GB/sec) as the shared drive?
Edit: I also have Paragon HFS+ which I could use on the shared drive so Windows can see it, but they still haven't released the APFS version that can write ATM. Maybe if I just use HFS+ on this drive (as HFS+ has been tried and tested) and use my fast drive as the shared so video editing i.e scrubbing etc will be a lot faster?
TIA, Jim
- I want to have a common secondary drive that stores both OS's Documents, Pictures, Music and more importantly my development files which are under GIT source control with the server being on an external QNAP NAS server.
- The boot drive is a separate Samsung 960 Pro M.2 PCIe drive.
- I'm using the APFS on the macOS and NTFS on the Windows 10 Pro partitions respectively.
- All data on the Apple OS and the proposed exFAT shared drive will be backed up via TimeMachine to my NAS server, and images taken on both OS's also to my NAS using Acronis TrueImage 2018.
