Linux can mount and read NTFS. I know it is not the best choice for linux, but it is efficient and has a low power requirement. Same goes for exFAT. That is why I asked.
If you need a storage format thats fast, reliable and portable between Linux, Windows, Mac or just about any other OS then use Fat32. If its an all Linux environment then use the native Linux EXT4 format.
My experience with NTFS some years back was that it was slow compared to Fat32 on Linux prolly because NTFS has to go through a kernel/userspace bridging layer called FUSE while Fat32 has a native kernel driver. I also recall having permission compatibility issues with NTFS and there is some question over the quality and support of the FUSE-3D bridge driver. ExFat makes no sense to me unless you are all Windows or there are individual files > 4GB file size.
