NTFS
- NTFS file system is the main file system for Windows NT/2000/XP. Its structure is closed, so no other operating system supports it in the full. Main structure of NTFS is the MFT (Master File Table). NTFS stores a copy of the critical part of the MFT to reduce the possibility of data damage and loss. All other NTFS data structures are special files.
Like FAT, NTFS uses clusters to store files, but cluster size does not depend on partition size. NTFS is a 64-bit file system, it uses Unicode to store file names. Besides, it is a journaling (failure-protected) file system, and supports compression and encryption.
Files in folders are indexed to speed up file search.
