NTFS & Thumb Drives

[djnes]

Has anyone ever had a problem formatting their thumb drives to NTFS? Well, okay, not in the actual formatting, just in the usage? I have a 1 GB Sandisk Cruzer, and it came formatted to FAT. I'd like a little extra security on it, so I want to use NTFS. I can format it just fine, and it seems to work. Any past experiences?

NTFS involves more reading/writing to the drive. Thus wearing down your thumb drive faster than when using FAT. There's an article about the pros and cons of NTFS at PC Stats.
