Microsoft has announced their new file system : ReFS (Resilient File System). It will in time be replacing their old filesystem NTFS (New Technology File System) which have been a part of Windows since Windows NT 3.1! Although the ReFS will be released with Windows 8, it will first only be implemented as storage system for Windows Server only. It will then come to Windows 8 client, and at the end be presented as a “boot volume”. Although it is possible going to undergo some changes before final release, rumors says that ReFS is designed to complement the Storage Spaces feature in Windows 8 and Windows Server 8. It will help with the verification and auto-correction of data and be optimized for scale. Good things are coming to Windows 8 – really looking forward to October already! To give the number-lovers something to think about – Windows 8′s implementation of ReFS will support file systems as large as 16EB (16,777,216TB) where possible and the specification itself extends to 256 zettabytes, or 274,877,906,944TB. Mind boggling! :)
