    Try this link. It gives a brief table on differences. For the most part NTFS is much more secure and handles space usage of hard drives more effiecently. There is alot more detail to it than that but the link can give you a basic understanding.

    Thanks I appreciate it! I'm what you could call a minor geek, so I'm not quite that far into some of the technical stuff like that :)
