Talking of symbolic links, if you are frequently using the same disk between windows and mac, there are some neat tricks you can do involving symbolic links that make the paths to your sample instruments appear to be 'the same' to your audio software, so that none of it grumbles about missing files when loading. It is not a complete show stopper, as I made a wild educated guess that if you created an alias or symbolic link to the exFat sample disk, then browsed through that link from Kontakt's browser, it would work, and it does. If you use exFat on osx, Kontakt is unable to browse those disks via it's own browser. So I've learned to avoid USB HFS+ drives on Win7 when I can (since there's no way to tell what garbage cleaning/write duty cycle it's in) and wait a bit before actually removing a firewire/usb drive that's been ejected. I don't blame windows in this case, the error is in Paragon's driver not 'catching up' the write cache it's trying to do before allowing Windows to display the 'safe to eject' tooltip. USB keys can cause bsod and firewire drives sometimes taken down HFS+ (but leave Win7 up). Paragon's HFS+ for windows works as well, but I have some issues with ejecting HFS+ media from time to time. Mind you I've never actually HAD an ntfs drive in a corrupt state on my Mac Pro, but it's possible. Other than the fact that with write caching enabled you can suffer data loss and there's no autocheck/diskchk under OSX to repair a bad NTFS volume (flagged as dirty), it works great. Paragon NTFS & NTFS3g (the open source codebase behind Paragon's ntfs driver) can write to NTFS volumes on OS X. Macs 'see' ntfs just fine, but by default 10.6 & 10.7 can only read ntfs, not write.
