Have new Computer that came with Win 11 pro. & plan to dual boot with Linux. I've read that HD's at this time are more reliable (last longer) than SSD's so plan on putting all documents on the HD. What is the best way to format the HD so that I can share the docs between Windows & Linux. Specs. Lenovo ThinkStation P 620 AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5945WX 32 GB ram NVIDIA RTX A2000 12 GB 1 TB M.2 SSD 1 TB HD Appreciate any advice with this process. Thanks
I don't think they are that more reliable. HDD have mechanical parts that are sensitive to vibrations and impacts. Imho it is ok for second built-in desktop storage, but for extrnal, portable drive it probably not File system exFAT seems like a good choice. Since Linux 5.15 there is experimental NTFS3 driver contributed by Paragon, but it may not be as stable as one would like
