In order for this post/thread to make sense, you have to assume that:
1) There's lots of data already on the drives and reformatting is not an option.
2) The user wants to retain the possibility of plugging the drive back into his Windows system. I.e., again, reformatting is not an option.
Like it or not, NTFS is the closest thing we have nowadays to a "universal" file system. One that can be used easily on most moderns OSes.
Yes, I mean that Linux supports NTFS much better than Windows supports ext[234].
As to trying to guess what the actual problem is here, I'd say look into either of both of these:
1) Maybe a power problem. Its seems on the Pi5, most problems are power problems.
2) Maybe there is a 4T limit on the Linux NTFS driver?
