FAT32 systems generally have a 137 gig limit for ATA drives; there may be other limiting factors depending on your rig. Workarounds include multiple hdd's and firewire.

NTFS also support NTFS Security that FAT does not support. On FAT we just had Read, Write, and Full Control but in NTFS it is extended. thanks

I believe FAT32 doesn't allow for compression either.
