I would add, if your Windows is Windows 10/11, it uses deduplication and encryption features of NTFS by default. You may have issues with this disk on Linux, because Linux doesn’t support these features out of the box, so your node may start to failing audits, because it cannot read deduplicated/encrypted data. NTFS working noticeable slower under Linux, so your node will start to use much more RAM. The integrated tools to check NTFS disk under Linux is not fully compatible, so to check and fix the filesystem you would need to reconnect this disk to the Windows PC and check it there.
So, either disable deduplication and encryption for this disk, check the filesystem and try to use it under Linux keeping in mind all limitations or migrate data to the ext4 disk.
