External hard drive format with Synology


Recommended Posts

Assuming your drive will be used exclusively by the Synology, use Ex4. Any other format seems to result in very slow file transfers. I tried a few different formats and Ex4 allowed by far the quickest file transfer by quite some margin. Not twice as fast but not too far off.
