Which filesystem do you recommend for an external Mac HD?
Since we’re talking about Mac, which of the filesystems should I use on an external hard drive (non-SSD), which I’ll be using with my Mac but occasionally may also use it with other operating systems.

HFS+ can be used on all 3 major OSes and is much better than exFAT in every way.

Well, we’re talking something you can use easily when moving from computer to computer. I wouldn’t expect best in class performance though, that’s not how modern software is done – or how a legacy software is maintained.

After reading Which Mac File System Is Best for an External Drive?, I decided to use exFAT on my external drive.
