Please be more specific about "nas drives"
Do you mean shares offered by a nas device?
This usually involves network protocols like nfs, cifs, ftp and/or iscsi.
In any of these cases, linux and windows can use them.
The other case:
You directly connect a drive to a computer.
In that case:
linux can read and write the windows filesystems fat32 and ntfs
Windows can (halfway) read and write ext2 and ext3.
Halfway, as it is possible but I was never satisfied with performance and stabilitiy of these solutions.You must always face the curtain with a bow.

Yeah im looking for a safe storage solution for dual booting. I head of lan external drives with linux built in to it. It would be great if I could format it in ext4 and read it in windows with out worrying about scanning, improper shutdowns or corruption.
