Should I use ext4 instead? Ideally I'd like to be able to also use that disk for Windows... how good is LibreElec's NTFS support (read and write)? I know I can install utilities to read ext4 on Windows, but not all my PCs have that installed

I wonder if ExFat can cause the freeze problems I'm seeing (but would be weird that recording is never affected), so I'm tryin gto eliminate all possible sources of problems

I'm planning on upgrading to a CN62 chromebox. Does this box have wifi 802.11ac? Getting mixed spec reports on different sites. I'm sure there are Chromebox users here who have this box an would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

ExFAT should be fine and is really your only option for read-write on both Windows and LE

I think I'll still get the CN62 seeing as this box will support android apps.
