Hello,
Respected Members,
How are you?
I have two External HDD's from Western Digital one is having NTFS filesystem and other one is having exFAT filesystem, but whenever I copy something from NTFS filesystem's HDD to exFAT's filesystem's HDD, it occupies more space on exFAT's Filesystem than on NTFS's Filesystem, just before a day I copied a Data of 211 GB to exFAT's Filesystem there it occupies 274 GB space. I want to know Should I format the exFAT's Filesystem to the NTFS's Filesystem and which is the better FILESYSTEM for external HDD'S? Hope to see reply soon.
Thank You.

NTFS should be better. That more space covering point is strange. @whitestar_999
