Best Filesystem for an 8TB External Drive
by GPGAgent from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4W3K7)
Just got a nice new 8TB external USB drive, and t has an NTFS file system.
I never use any other OS, I will never use Windows or a Mac, and I won't ever connect this drive to a TV to play movies and so on.
So what FS should I use.
DuckDuckGoing seems to bring back answers that say EXT3 is a good choice. I tried that once on 1TB drive and copying to it was really slow. Never found out why.
Suggestions please and why.
