I'm not too wise with PC hardware - my past housemate used to support me on that subject.
I keep all my camera footage on an 8TB NTFS HDD with other document types and render to another local drive as I was advised the rendering would be faster like that rather than read/write on the same drive.
Now I'm wondering whether I should set my dedicated 465GB render drive (Crucial BX100 SATA SSD) to NTFS or EXFAT?
Any recommendations/difference for best performance? (or is it more about the speed of the HDD drive reading the original 150Mbps multicamera footage?)
My answer to this is simple, in this case. Always NTFS for internal drives. exFAT is better for external USB(-C) drives.

Use NTFS.
There won´t be any big difference such as use X because its 10 times faster than Y.

Thanks. I've never looked deep into the structures of different disk formats - all I know is that EXFAT supports bigger files than the older FAT32 which is restricted to 4GB.

ExFat seems to have a 128 petabyte file size limit while NTFS has 8 petabyte file size limit. (1 petabyte=1000 TB)
I don´t think the 8 petabyte file size limit of NTFS is an issue today. So both file systems will do the job.

Hola que tal, quizas esto te ayude:
NTFS es más rápido cuando se utiliza en discos duros internos como sistema de archivos en PC con Windows. Mientras que exFAT funciona mejor en dispositivos de almacenamiento externos como USB o discos duros externos.
