[quote author=“invisiblefly”]will winxp sp2 support up to 500 gb?/ what’s the max for winxp (NTFS)
btw, can external harddrive/flashdrive formatted as NTFS?[/list]
I think the max volume size in NTFS is in the multi-TB range, but it depends on cluster size. IIRC by default 16 TB. External hard disks can definitely be formatted NTFS, but don’t bother using it with flash media. There are a lot of added features to NTFS, like journalling, that don’t make sense for smaller media and you’ll find perfomance is actually faster with FAT for small drives (under about 10 GB). If you want encryption, permissions or compression support however, go with NTFS.
