Beware of NTFS and exFat! 
 
NTFS and exFat is supported on Windows 10, 8, 7, Server 2008-2016. Meanwhile, there should also be support on Linux and Appel's Mac OS. Here you should check with external hard drives if the other operating systems also support the appropriate hard disk format.

To sum up: NTFS is great for a Windows system disk, exFAT is better for use on removable media, and FAT32 should only be used if you want maximum compatibility with the variety of your devices.
