> NTFS is a much more modern fs than HFS+, but that doesn't necessarily make it faster.

Nor modern, BTW.




To the one who modded this down possibly because of the idea that NTFS is "modern" (of HFS+, BTW): list one feature of NTFS that hasn't been around in other filesystems for 5 years or more.

fragmentation prevention? OS/2's HPFS had that long file names? Apple's DOS 3.2 had them (up to 33 chars) journaling? ext3 had it, for both data and metadata symlinks and hardlinks? Unixes had them since the beginning of time multiple forks: more a bug than a feature. Macs MFS had it.
