A file system designed for use specifically with the Windows operating system It supports long file names, full security access control, file system recovery, extremely large storage media, and various features for the Windows POSIX subsystem It also supports object-oriented applications by treating all files as objects with user-defined and system-defined attributes See also file allocation table (FAT) file system O
Windows NT file system Enables options for adding security and access control for data files using directory and file permissions
New Technology File System File System for Windows NT More advanced than HPFS, which is also supported by Windows NT NTFS has a 64-bit address and some fault tolerance, also supports spanning and striping
NTFS is the Windows NT file system Unlike FAT, NTFS does not use an allocation table but stores information about any file directly with the file Other operating systems, including Windows 95, and many applications, such as ScanDisk, cannot read NTFS partitions However, NTFS files or folders that are shared on a network can be accessed by other operating systems Advantages of NTFS over FAT include faster access to files, more efficient information storage (for example, through a smaller cluster size), better data recovery, integrated file compression, larger disk partitions, and better file security NTFS is preferred for Windows NT Server because of its better security and fault tolerance features NTFS partitions also remain relatively unfragmented for long periods of time A more detailed definition can be found here
An abbreviation for New Technology File System, Windows NT's replacement for the DOS FAT (File Allocation Table) and OS/2's HPFS (High-Performance File System) NTFS offers many advantages over other file systems, including improved security and the ability to reconstruct files in the event of hardware failures Windows 3 1+ and Windows 95 can access files stored on NTFS volumes via a network connection but can't open NTFS files directly
Short for NT File System, one of the file system for the Windows NT operating system (Windows NT also supports the FAT file system) NTFS has features to improve reliability, such as transaction logs to help recover from disk failures To control access to files, you can set permissions for directories and/or individual files NTFS files are not accessible from other operating such as DOS For large applications, NTFS supports spanning volumes, which means files and directories can be spread out across several physical disks
NT File System This is the file system that comes with NT and is much more reliable, modern and robust than the old DOS compatible FAT (see FAT) NTFS is C2-compliant and is used a lot in government
File system developed by Microsoft for Windows NT Supports long file names, journalling, security access restrictions (see DAC), lazy-write (allowing disk writes to be cached)
New Technology File System Available on Windows NT, 2000, XP, it allows for a great file security than FAT or FAT32 Similiar to a file allocation table used by Windows 9x, but it is not FAT
