Refs vs Ntfs

[Yongtjunkit]

Hi, I was wondering which option should I go for reformating the d: partition? Should I go for refs or stay on ntfs?

 

Disk management shows the option to format the drive as refs

NTFS, no matter how old and outdated it is. REFS is relatively new and has no signs of being released as the default file system anytime soon.

ReFS is not new, it has been around for about 5 years, since windows server 2012.

If you are only using one disk, you likely wont make use of its features.

It's just a partition but disk management show it as an option

ReFS isn't new, it was introduced in Server 2012 so is about ~5 years old. 

ReFS is a newer generation resilient filesystem. It won't make too much difference for a single drive as much of the functionality of it is unlocked under Storage Spaces so it doesn't really matter to much. It still has the same security features as NTFS.

dont use it. MS released it initially for file servers and you wont have any benefit in your setup.
