That's absolutely not the best option - no large drive, and particularly an external drive that is subject to unexpected disconnects, should be running a non-journaled filesystem like FAT32.

Does buddy carry the external drive to/from work, or will it remain permanently attached to the Mac? We need to know the use case to figure out the best option.
