File system for 3rd hard drive on Win/Linux PC?

InkstainTheBat@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 17 points –

I'm planning on dual booting Windows and Linux on my computer, but each system from a separate hard drive, but what about my 3rd hard drive (which i use mostly for storing games, videos etc...) Should i use ExFAT? I can't really use NTFS because Linux can't write to it.

It is actually possible to use BTRFS with Windows. I've had some success using this tool between Linux and Windows, it can do in-place conversions of an NTFS drive if you need as well.

Nope !

I tried using it and it causes horrible bottle necks, sometimes it just -stops- and refuses to work until a reboot.

If u use windows u r stuck with ntfs.

Interesting, not in my experience so far. Though I acknowledge this is definitely experimental.
