Microsoft ReFS Review: Features and Things to Know

What is ReFS?

ReFS (Resilient File System) is relatively new Microsoft filesystem (introduced about a year ago) designed to be used in modern Windows operating systems. As of now, ReFS is available in Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and in Windows 8.1.

ReFS has replaced NTFS and initially was designed as a filesystem to work with a large amount of data. Interestingly, the key point is to protect against data loss rather than speed up of processing data. On an NTFS volume in case of failure, in-place repair is widely used (remember CHKDSK?). In ReFS, which is intended for a large amount of data, in-place repair is impractical, so CHKDSK just is not applied and no analog is offered.
