Windows 8 New File System

This article talks about a new file system Windows 8 uses called ReFS. This stands for resilient file system. In the past, files on a windows OS would be easily corrupted. At the time, Mac and Linux are better options only due to the fact that files would not corrupt as easily. However, ReFS changes this situation. It tries to keep files uncorrupted in several ways. These ways include verifying and auto-correcting data, isolating files that are corrupt, and keeps an entire volume intact online. ReFS is intended for storage spaces. It will eventually be used for clients.
