Recently I got an external hard drive of one tera, I tried to use it and in addition to the fact that I made some mistakes (such as trying to connect it to the usb2.0 port) once I managed to make it work, I saved the photos, videos and pdf that I had downloaded on my cell phone to free up space, also some usb sticks where I used to save the files of the cell phone, and it didn't work, only some files were Transferred and others just They were not Transferred, I tried one more time and nope, it failed again, so I formatted the external hard drive from ntfs to exfat, and now I was able to transfer the files, I thought my problems were solved but someone told me that exfat is a dangerous format prone to corrupting files and crashing, that ntfs is much safer and I should try to use that format again, What do you recommend?
