Is it a good Idea to change my drives file system?

Support

Hi there, I recently switched to Linux Mint from Windows. My main drive with the OS on it is in ext4 but my other drives which I used on windows are still on NTFS. Its not do big of a hassle for me to move files around and format drives if I need to but I am just wondering if that is something I should do? Is there any reason I should switch from NTFS to ext4?

Been reading up online but still a bit confused.
