Quick format

[kalpik]

Yes, quick format is recommended. Do a full format only when u are facing some problems with the disk. A full format decreases the life of the disk.

QUick format wont reduce disk life, butfiles maybe recovered. So incase of data that must be deleted for sure, use full format

[techtronic]

whats the basic difference between quick and full format ?

[dIgItaL_BrAt]

quick format removes the internal directory structure of the files so that u can no longer see or access them,while full format removes the actual files themselves,so they cannot be recovered by any means.
