   Most of the stuff I'll be putting on this drive isn't OS-specific -   
   photos, videos, PDFs, etc. Stuff that I access very infrequently and   
   don't need cluttering up my main hard drive, but stuff I want to find   
   easily when I do want it. And since the OS I use 95+% of the time is   
   Linux, keeping Windows compatibility is probably not all that important,   
   now that I think of it.
