When the HD capacity you want to partition is below 32GB, you can choose FAT32 format.
Use FAT32 if you use your hard disk with both Windows and Mac. Maximum single file size
is 4GB.
Mac File System Formats
There are two possible file system formats for Mac users: Mac OS Extended (HFS+) and FAT32.
Use HFS+ if you use the drive on Mac system only; performance will generally be greater when compared to
FAT32. This file system is not compatible with Windows OS.
