My external hard drive is formatted exFAT and has tremendous trouble transferring files that are over 15 gigs in size.

Would formatting it to NTFS solve this problem?

The hard drive basically just flops and shuts down if I try to transfer a file that is 20 gigs or larger.

Whereas my NTFS SSD can handle 100 gig files with no problem. Granted it's an SSD so it's faster, but is the formatting a factor here?
