Hello all,
I have recently bought an external 4tb drive for backups and having an image of another 2tb drive (in case it fails). The drives are used for cold storage (backups). I would like a prefference on the filesystem i should format it. From the factory, it comes with ntfs and that is ok but i wonder if it will be better with something like ext4. Being readable directly from windows won’t be necessary (although useful) since i could just temporarily turn on ssh on the linux machine (or a local vm) and start copying.
Buck the trend, put APFS on those bad boys.
Not bad idea.
Well, given the current state of the Open Source driver, I think it is a bad idea.
Although, I guess if you can tolerate closed source….

I was kidding…
Or, kick it old school with reiserFS
