Installing a new 4tb hdd not knowing to go for e.g. ext4 or NTFS as a format, some advice please

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

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