ROOSTER It takes a long time to copy files in all the versions. About twice as long for large monolithic files and even more time if its a folder with lots of smaller files. Its probably because this is an implementation of an older NT version. The current NTFS 6 version is a pretty good with all the bells and whistles you would expect from a modern file system (to bad WinFS), but I doubt the NTFS-3G dev could get to that NTFS 6 level without grief from M$. Anyway, The site is not informative enough and says it allows you to use 4G+ USB sticks. Big deal...FAT32 will do it and you will get decent performance. The issue is really,,,really large files...say you want to save a big 7GB ISO of a movie/game/etc....You need Apple's HFS or you have to use NTFS...If you go the NTFS route be prepared for long file transfer times and some occasional stability issues. For me it is worth it because I have several external FW and USB drives that contain common data and must be accessed from both Mac and Win depending on the situation. I like the idea of this driver but there are some pitfalls...be prepared to accept lower speed and occasional weirdness.
