I’m in the process of migrating to Proxmox for my media streaming and other services, as I’ve found myself increasingly limited on the Windows platform.

One of my primary concerns involves my current media storage setup. I have a 10TB external drive formatted with an NTFS partition (fully backed up), and I would like to continue writing new data to this drive within the Proxmox environment.

What would be the most appropriate approach to handle this transition? My initial assumption is that converting or migrating to a Linux-native filesystem may be the best long-term solution, but I do not yet have extensive Linux experience. I would appreciate guidance on the most reliable and efficient way to proceed.
