hopefully the all caps subject caught attention 😉 anyway, i have a 13.5gb IBM 7200rpm hard drive and i was wondering which way of formatting it (FAT32 preferred) would put that little performance increase in. would a larger allocation unit size do the trick? i know a few people would actually suggest NTFS but, if there is any way to speed up with FAT32, please tell me. if not, i may go for NTFS if someone can kind of give me a short pros and cons list. thanks! i appreciate everyones time! take care -davo!
