I have a PC with several drives, both SSDs and HDDs. I've already installed Mint on one of them, but the others are formatted as NTFS. I'm looking for advice on what file system I should use for the remaining drives. I want to keep them as separate storage units, so I'm not interested in creating a drive array or anything like that.

If you’re looking for something simple, I’d recommend sticking with ext4. It's reliable and should work well for your setup without any fancy features that you might not need.
I've been using ext4 too, and it’s been hassle-free. I can share files with Windows systems via Samba without any problems.
Typically, ext4 is the go-to choice for Linux. It’s user-friendly and gets the job done. You really can't go wrong with it!
Go with ext4! It’s worked perfectly for my internal drives, and it’s easy to manage. Just avoid choosing something like XFS if you think you might need to resize the partitions later.
XFS is another option if you need something different, but just keep in mind that you can’t shrink XFS partitions if you need that in the future.
