exFAT is great for compatibility but it doesn't have journaling, so if there's a power outage while writing to a file, you can expect the file to get corrupted and unusable (which sucks). apart from that, yeah, it's great.

what i can recommend if you're working in a big organization or group or sth is to use a network drive, i.e. a drive that's accessed over the network. you typically don't have problems there.

Is it just my experience but exfat is so much slower on windows than ntfs.

I' think this will be my best bet going forward. I still need to have my windows computer setup for modding, but i'd rather use linux for daily use and torrents.
