Best file format system for Windows for storing Storj data

Mason36 · March 8, 2020, 7:20am

I am actually planning to use an SSD to run my Windows 10 OS on my PC. And HDD to store the data. So, can anybody tell me what file format should I use to store the Storj data? And please explain why?

Windows nodes should use NTFS.

I am planning to run my Windows 10 OS on SSD. Please recommend me if sata SSD from Samsung of 6.0 speed would be compatible with an old PC running Intel core 2 duo processor with ESONIC G31 Motherboard?

The SATA II controller of your G31 chipset will limit the SSD’s throughput to 3.0Gbps but yes, it will work just fine.
