read that I have to delete all my storage on my hdd in order to use it as media storage on my pi with omv 4
Where did you read that?
On a RPI the OS (Debian with OMV as service) is installed on a SD card. The HDD you connect to the RPi via USB can be used completely as storage. However for permanent use the filesystem on the HDD should be a filesystem that uses the features of Linux, e.g. ext4. You can create different partitions on the HDD and create different filesystems on them. You are able to mount each of the filesystems in OMV separately.
On amd64 where you install the OS normally on a SSD or HDD OMV will use the complete SSD or HDD in the standard configuration.
Yes, ntfs is not suitable for permanent use with OMV.
But why do you want to keep the ntfs filesystem? Is your intention to move the USB drive between OMV and your laptop/dektop?
In that case be aware that OMV will give errors if you just pull the USB drive. Not a good idea.
The idea of a NAS is to have a central storage for data and access these date from all devices in the network. As there is SMB there is no need for a ntfs filesystem on a NAS.
