ReFS is better than NTFS, but Microsoft refuses to let regular users have it

  I wish Microsoft adopted and upstreamed changes to OpenZFS instead of duplicating all this effort.

    Problem is Microsoft has zero interest in zfs. Not even as far as answering questions the openzfs windows dev asks them.

      Does Windows support any filesystems that don’t suck?

    It could be Sco vs Linux all over again

  What a click bait title. Article goes on to explain the rational reasons why ReFS wasn’t built for mainstream use and doing so might bloat its performance on the very server systems it was designed to be efficient for.

  It’s not ready yet. It’s good for some specific use cases but it’s not anything the typical end user needs.

    This. NTFS is still the gold standard for stability. ReFS is meant for data ops, and while it’s fairly stable, and offers a lot of advantages, it’s not perfect and can suffer greatly if used incorrectly. Until the quirks are gone, users are probably better off with NTFS for a lot of reasons.

    Yet?? They’ve been making it since the Stone Age. I read about it in my teens

      Right? I’ve gone through ReiserFS, ext3, ext4, XFS, ZFS; hell on macOS I’ve been through HFS+ and AFS. And clunky ol’ Microsoft is still on fucking NTFS.

      Maybe “it’s not needed yet” is more accurate.

  Why would you use either over btrFS?

    Why would you use BTRFS over ZFS?

      Why would you use zfs over fat12?

  Yeah but is it better than WinFS?
