Hy Guys,
I am new here........
Yesterday i bought 320GB WD MyBook Essential Edition (External HD) out of box it was formated as a Single Fat32 drive.

I will be using this drive for storing files of 700MB in size. so please just me whether to go for FAT32 or NTFS and the cluster size. By the way i will be using this drive on Vista and XP only i need to get good read and write speeds.
