Really? I admit I'm out of touch with Window$, but my understanding is
that from XP onwards, NTFS was the default fs.

Because it requires technical knowledge. It isn't plug and play. You
need to power the drive. More likely that someone who just wants to
"take it out of the box, plug it in and it all works" is going to be
plugging in a USB drive, not using an internal SATA drive and figuring
out how to power it. ;)

It is becoming clear to me, that we need to cater for the completely
non-technical. I don't need to receive PM's asking me how to do this,
and how to do that. There needs to be a very simple, documented,
supported procedure for using an external drive or media share with the
WB, that just works. Anyone wants to do anything more complicated, of
course you can. But we don't need a web interface that needs a 10 page
manual to go with it, just for someone to be able to figure out how to
mount a drive containing music.
