From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For a data disk? Absolutely, even if you're not going to configure anything, you can copy inside the partition instantly and detect the bitrot.
If you're willing to step it up a notch, there's also cool stuff like transparent compression, deduplication and incremental send/receive of entire subvolumes.
