Stuff happens and then you end up with data loss and corruption.
If your files are mostly created under Windows (and stored on NTFS), then use FreeBSD's read-only NTFS driver.
If FreeBSD is your main OS (and you store your files on UFS2), then use a UFS driver on Windows to read the data.
Etc.
Using the network to share the disk is still the safest way.

No one is talking about SATA-like speed of course. There is USB-limit speed and then there is
below USB-limit. I've used NTFS, FAT32 and UFS2 on the same external disk and NTFS was noticeably the slowest.
