If your using the drive in a strickly Windows enviroment there isn't any downside. If your using it with an Apple or Linux system you may have some systems that can't read the drive. At this point I pretty sure all major Linux distros can read and write NTFS (Ubuntu can) and I'm not entirely sure what Apple can and cant' read. Natively I'm thinking Apple can't read NTFS but there are addons. Maybe some one more familar with Apple can chime in?
