For SOHO use EXT4 on any debian OS and FAT32 for USB stick for easy interoperability with WIN/MACOS/LINUX/ANDROID #disk #format #filesystem NFTS for large disks primarily for WIN use. use LVM for multiple disk in linux https://image.nostr.build/6cba00fb173513b8b25b7700dad4f4bd51c9a58689f715e2666fb8a0a4efdb5f.png
I use exfat for USB interop, it seems to be ok. The Linux tools are good, mkfs or gparted work. Files larger than 4gb is nice.
sample speed check on mSATA SSD at SATA 3 6Gb/s for four diff type of filesystem partition - https://image.nostr.build/77e84abc197ea9143e22910c23cad201df0d5a57bfc047d5ea36c2c784f33c72.png
Different beast but my fav for years- Network attached, multiple different disks, redundant, posix, snapshots Moosefs
I use ext4, zfs, and btrfs. Most of my data is on LUKS encrypted mirrored ZFS disk pairs, but my newest RAID mirrored pair is btrfs.
