Personally all my data & archive files are NTFS-W7 (which differs from previous versions of NTFS). Linux, which I use for most functions, most times, uses EXT4 partitions, but creates many incompatibilities with NTFS-W7: non-MS file names, multiple same-name files & seemingly rare & random write errors onto compressed NTFS-W7 partitions.
