USB2.0 Flash Drive - FAT32 or NTFS

What file system do you prefer for USB2.0 Flash Drives: FAT32 or NTFS and why?

Thanks in Advance.

 

Unless you need the extra security control NTFS can give, or unless you need to store individual files larger than 4GB, then leaving it @ FAT32 doesn't hurt anything and leaves it a bit more universal. For eg., afaik Mac OS can read/write FAT32. But NTFS is read only.

 

Always FAT32 for flash drives; I'll move to exFAT when it's more widely supported.

 

It depends on what I'm using it for. For example, my TV cannot play shows/movies from NTFS flash drives so I use FAT32 for that. Obviously if I need to store files that are over 4GB on it, then I use NTFS. Also, my favorite desktop search engine, Everything, requires NTFS so that's a consideration, whereas many programs that turn flash disks into bootable recovery disks often convert them to FAT or FAT32. In short, I prefer NTFS, but I'll use whatever the job requires.
