Hi Tom, If you’re only going to use it with Linux machines I would choose jffs2, btrfs or ext4. Ext3 isn’t a good choice as it doesn’t know about solid state disks. Ext4 and jffs2 might be a bit faster than btrfs, emphasis on might, but btrfs has so many more features that I use it for everything now. Snapshots, multiple disk support, transparent compression and deduplication to name the big ones.
