Differences Between NTFS and ReFS
NTFS stands for New Technology File System.
ReFS stands for Resilient File System.
Microsoft has developed both file systems technologies for Windows OS.
Few major differences between NTFS and ReFS are as follows:
1. File Size Limit: NTFS supports file sizes up to 16 exabytes, while ReFS supports file sizes up to 262144 exabytes.
2. Scalability: We can use NTFS for small and large storage devices but in the case of large storage devices, need to use ReFS.
3. Release: In the mid-1990s, the NTFS file system was released and currently it is widely used in many small & large organizations but the ReFS was released in 2012 with Windows Server 2012 and is a new system.
