If I were you, reformat it to ext4 .. the journalling will be better
than NTFS by far, and you won't run into crazy problems with ntfs-3g /
write permissions and other such issues.

FYI, I don't think FAT32 supports large (modern) disks, so for hard
disks, NTFS is the 'standard' choice. USB sticks tend to be FAT32
though, but then I don't see a lot of 1TB usb sticks around, yet .... ;)
