      I'm sorry, but "precise and accurate" is wrong on NTFS file system. NTFS came along with the Windows NT 3.1 system much, much earlier the Windows XP. Please don't mislead people. Regards.

    One thing you should've mentioned is, exFAT is by far the best for portable drives. It doesn't have the file size limitations of FAT32, It's supported by 99% of devices made in the last 10+ years, and most importantly for portable drives is it does NOT require properly ejecting the disk before removal! I can't tell you how many times I've corrupted the files on a flash drive or USB hdd because it was using FAT32 or NTFS and I forgot to properly eject it before unplugging it.

    One more good feature in NTFS is Increased reliability.
    NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency of the file system when the computer is restarted after a system failure. After a bad-sector error, NTFS dynamically remaps the cluster that contains the bad sector, and allocates a new cluster for the data. It also marks the original cluster as bad, and no longer uses the old cluster. For example, after a server crash, NTFS can recover data by replaying its log files.
    NTFS continuously monitors and corrects transient corruption issues in the background without taking the volume offline. This feature is known as self-healing NTFS, which was introduced in Windows Server 2008. (source: Microsoft)

      It's simple: For linux root filesystems, the major distros only support ext4, Btrfs and XFS with ext4 and Btrfs being favored.
      ZFS is the best for large data, but has problems because it is not widely supported by all distros.
      Btrfs is the 2nd best for large data if you can't use ZFS.
      XFS is good for smaller setups if you can put the log file on a separate SSD.
      I personally use ext4 for root w/ speedup fstab options and NILFS2 for /home because of its continuous snapshots.

To me after trying another protocols, i notice many different things, stability specifically but another more things that i considered improvements, like constantly system speed, much less stuttering when i gaming, system response at various situations when im editing music files and so on. May be placebo effect in my case but it's what i noticed. Thanks and great video, subscription✔️

    NT file system (NTFS), which is also sometimes called the New Technology File System, is a process that the Windows NT operating system uses for storing, organizing, and finding files on a hard disk efficiently. NTFS was first introduced in 1993, as apart of the Windows NT 3.1 release.

      NTFS was even less compatible back then as Windows was still derived from the original file manager of the 80s (mainly FAT12 and FAT16 for the common user), IBM used their own filesystem as did Solaris, of course Apple was doing it's own thing and Linux was just a baby.

    Just last week I have a system which wouldn't read a handful of thumb drives (like 12) and I finally found a drive it would read and write to and I notice the only difference was this tiny partition detail most people overlook. I still have some testing to confirm this is the issue, but it is something I would like to understand more.
