Thank you all for your answers.
I think I'm going to use ext3 formated by the NAS. And install ext3 FS driver on a few windows PC.

I used a Linux PC to built the ext3 FS with R/W sector testing (it took quite a long time, but less than two days).
I understand the ext3 FS need to be built by the NAS, but I still want full R/W testing on sectors, to mark all bad sectors.
If I don't find the right option in the frontview I will do it with the command line.
