 | | NTFS or New Technology File System is the standard file system of Windows NT and its descendants: Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. | | | NTFS can compress files using a variant of the LZ77 algorithm (also used in the popular ZIP file format). | | | NTFS 5.0 was the third version of NTFS to be introduced to the Windows world by Microsoft. |

| | NTFS file system |
| | NTFS could not win personal computers for a long time because of the fact that for organisation of effective operation with the data structures it demanded significant memory sizes. | | | NTFS just doesn't have intermediate (erratic or incorrect) conditions - the data variation quantum cannot be divided on before failure or after it bringing breakups and muddle - it is either accomplished or cancelled. | | | NTFS file system is a distinguished achievement of structuring: each system component is a file - even system information. |

| | NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency of the file system when the computer is restarted in the event of a system failure. | | | NTFS allows you to gain the maximum benefits for the needs of today’s enterprise business environments from Windows Server 2003, such as increased security, more robust and reliable performance, as well as a design for greater storage growth, features not found in FAT. | | | NTFS is not supported on versions of Microsoft Windows earlier than Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 Professional or MS-DOS. |

| | NTFS vs. FAT: Which Is Right for You? |
| | The NTFS file system is generally not compatible with other operating systems installed on the same computer, nor is it available when you've booted a computer from a floppy disk. | | | The NTFS file system, introduced with first version of Windows NT, is a completely different file system from FAT. | | | Now this isn't a problem if you're running FAT32 on a Windows XP computer and sharing your drive out to other computers on your network—they don't need to know (and generally don't really care) what your underlying file system is. |

| | NTFS then adds the security descriptor to the $SDS attribute, which is sorted in a B+ tree by NTFS security ID, and adds to the $SDH and $SII indexes entries that reference the descriptor's offset in the $SDS data. | | | Although NTFS also stores this information in the file's MFT entry, duplicating the information in a directory entry saves NTFS the trouble of reading the file's MFT entry to obtain the information when listing directories and doing simple file queries. | | | Further, because NTFS stores entries as a B+ tree, lookups for particular files in a large directory are very efficient—typically, NTFS needs to scan only a fraction of a directory. |

| | WindowsDevCenter.com -- NTFS Performance Hacks |
| | NTFS on Windows XP improves performance of the Master File Table (MFT) over Windows 2000 by not placing some of the MFT metadata files at the start of the disk. | | | NTFS on Windows XP has been improved to perform better overall, but you can still squeeze a percent or two of better performance out of a large disk by partitioning it into several smaller volumes. | | | You can still improve NTFS performance by choosing a naming scheme for your files so that files located in the same folder differ at the start of their names instead of at the end. |

| | Finally, of the three file systems, NTFS is the only one that's Unicode-enabled for international environments and has built-in data reliability features to prevent file and file system corruption if the system fails. | | | NTFS internally identifies files and directories using the position in the MFT of the record describing the start of their metadata. | | | An NTFS disk's boot record (512 bytes of data at the beginning of the disk) contains entries that locate the position of the MFT and the MFT mirror. |

| | NTFS Permissions |
| | NTFS file and folder permissions for the most part are a sufficient way to secure your resources on a Windows 2000 network. | | | If the Read and Execute and the Write NTFS permissions are assigned to group of users that need access to the public data folder, they have Full Control to all files that they create in the public data folder and can modify and execute files created by other users. | | | This is very important, but a plan for NTFS permissions should also be thought out way in advance before a Windows 2000 network is implemented. |

| | NTFS Boot Record Secrets |
| | In NTFS file system terminology, the first 16 sectors of an NTFS partition are known as the $Boot (which occupies Clusters 0 through 1 on most systems; those with 8-sector clusters). | | | NTFS BPB (Bios Parameter Block), and the next 303 bytes (7C54h through 7D82h) contain this sector's executable code (the main program and various subroutines) which eventually load the N.T.L.D.R. (or “Bootstrap”) sectors into Memory (try not to confuse these sectors with the NTLDR file that's found in the root directory of Win NT/2000 OS partitions). | | | I've seen a value of 4 (for a Windows XP partition of less than 2GB), but a value of 8 (for Windows 2000 and XP) is probably the most common. |

| | The Default Cluster Size for the NTFS and FAT File Systems |
| | All file systems that Windows XP uses to organize the hard disk are based on cluster (allocation unit) size, which represents the smallest amount of disk space that can be allocated to hold a file. | | | The maximum default cluster size under Windows XP is 4 kilobytes (KB) because NTFS file compression is not possible on drives with a larger allocation size. | | | The article lists default values for both the NTFS file system and the file allocation table (FAT) file system. |

| | Ars Technica: The Evolution of NTFS: NTFS 4.0 - Page 1 - (9/2000) |
| | The similarities between NTFS and its cousins are by no means surprising; Microsoft, of course, developed FAT back in its IBM days, and likewise, Microsoft was intimately involved is the design and development of HPFS, which was the native IFS (Installed File System) for OS/2 2.x (and was even supported by NT 3.51!). | | | As big of a change NTFS was (as you'll see), Microsoft has managed to deliver a high-quality file system that shames FAT (16 or 32), and easily rivals the other systems UNIX flavors use. | | | The article will give background to the development of NTFS, and foreshadow some of the important changes found in the next generation of NTFS found in Windows 2000. |
