Hi! I just plugged in a second hard drive on which I intend to rip Blu-Rays (I've legally bought). I'm booting from the first HD, and mostly this second HD will be a subset of ~/home.

I now need to format the HD, but I'm not sure which file system to use. I've had a look at Wikipedia, but it's more confusing than anything.

I need a filesystem that supports very large files (at least 200Gb), that plays nice with the last version of Ubuntu and that's reasonably quick since I'll be playing those very large files at some point.

Would ext4 be right for my needs, or should I go with another?

Thanks!
