Depends on how you did the conversion, did you use Windows dsik utility or third-party one?

Yes that behavior is normal because of cluster sizes.

You could try http://www.disk-partition.com/help/format-partition.html

Copy the data onto your computer and then use windows utility (people says it sucks but it works for me)....

If you reformat it to ntfs it won't work on your ps4
