I have a 10-year-old PC running Linux with an IDE 30GB hard drive. This
is my Slimserver.

The disc is full, so I'm going to get a nice new 500GB SATA drive and a
SATA PCI card (computer is too old to have built-in SATA support).

One reason for getting a SATA drive is so I can swap the disc into a
newer machine or NAS device at some point in the future should the
current ancient PC die one day.

Which filing system should I use for best future-proofing? I guess to
keep my options open it'll be one of the Windows filing systems (FAT32
or NTFS). How is Linux's read/write support for NTFS these days? 

I want to choose the right format in advance so I can leave the music
intact if/when I move the drive to another machine.
