I am getting a new HDD today. This is mostly to store media and backup files. I don't necessarily need to access this from both Mac and PC but it would be nice.
Here is my workflow. I am making videos of games in PC. These are very large files. I do all my editing in Mac. I have a 1GB SSD for video editing, but once I am done I want to archive my raw footage. Right now I can access the NTSF drive (500gb SSD with Win10 on it) while in Mac but I don't think I can write to it so I copy it to the larger SSD which is HFS+.
I also have various media files that I want to backup that reside on other external HDDs right now. These do not need to be backed up using any sort of program, I can just drag them there.
I have heard weird things about FAT drives so I'm not sure if I should just format these partitions as FAT or leave them HFS+. Or should I install programs so I can access HFS+ from Win10 and NTSF from Mac? I don't necessarily need to access them, but right now my Mac is in a bootloop so I wouldn't mind accessing my externals while I'm in Windows. Usually isn't much of an issue.
I also want to have a backup of my Win10 setup. I can do this on a different HDD partition. Any advice on setting that up is appreciated. I have two drives with Time Machine backups for my Mac so that is all set (one is an SSD partition the other is HDD).
