The block size is key here. If you will be storing video on the drive, put the 
block size as high as it can go. 


The larger the block size, the fewer number of blocks. The fewer the number of 
blocks, the smaller the file indexing system will be and the less overhead 
there will be.


Though,


its worth noting that you might want to use a file system that supports 
deduplication like Windows Server 2012 + NTFS or some of the versions of 
Windows 8 + NTFS; There is a deduplication role you can add that turns on 
nightly deduplication processing; Also ZFS is king of the linux Deduplication 
market.

Has a lot to do with file size. If you have a lot of video of people
peeing in stair wells (just saying) then you need a big cluster size. If
you have lots of 30 second video clips then you can go with a small
cluster size.

All filesystems are pretty efficient these days - it depends more on
cluster size than other aspects - I doubt you'd see more than 1% usable
space variance between them. Choose your FS based on OS support.
