I would leave it that way.  I just reformatted one of the mini-USB 
HD's I use when travelling to backup the day's photo's as exFAT. 
 From what I'm told you really want to format any exFAT devices on a 
PC rather than on a Mac.  On a Win7 system, I found that I had to 
first format it as NTFS, and I was then able to reformat as exFAT.
