To keep it short and sweet: just bought a 4tb disk to replace a broken one. Not sure to use a linux format a.i. ext4 or NTFS. I will mainly use the disk to store music and films and some (Win-)software and push them on external disks and USB sticks. My main OS is ubuntu 20.04.3LTS, no longer using Windhoos ;-).

Cheers, Rob

The answer is that ext will be used since there is no need for any windows based file system and there is no foundation for ntfs. Closed.

if you're planning to install windows, create a NTFS partition, if don't, you should use either ext4 or brtfs
