sure
Sure it will work well one thing with ntfs though if you run into trouble it is much harder to recover your data on a drive formatted with the ntfs file system, as for heeps more stable? I used both and with winxp fat32 is STABLE and I found the only real difference was the defragging was faster on the ntfs, but what do I care about that mine defrags while I sleep, either way is fine , you need high security? why you work for NASA? la good firewall should keep you feeling secure, either way its your choice but remember if you get into a bind the ntfs files are harder to access when things go wrong
