    Click HERE for an article explaining REFS (Resilient File System) . . .

    I have successfully formatted 1TB drives to FAT32 with this software for friends to plug into a PlayStation 4 which can only see FAT32 drives

    Resilient File System (ReFS)

    Ummm... And?

    This is not new.... It was part of Windows Server 2012 (i.e. Windows 8 Server) and Was included in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 (i.e. Windows 8.1 Server)

    Ummm... And... Win8 was so well received it probably is new to many. The forums aren't only for those in the know, ya know *Wink

    I suppose the real interest is in knowing if anyone has implemented ReFS and what their experience is using it. Anything you might add along those line would be helpful.

    Well, it has rather limited use for home users. You can't boot from it, from what I recall and has other limitations. It's primary benefits are for larger SAN's and what not.

    Every file system has drawbacks and limitations. ReFS will eventually replace NTFS just as NTFS replaced FAT32 and exFAT.

    Anyway, it will take many years before MS has the opportunity to replace NTFS. I think it took almost 15 years to completely replace FAT32.

    I'm not so sure that ReFS will replace NTFS... I think it's a special purpose file system, not intended for general use, and I think it will stay that way.

    Don't want to act dumb but when was FAT32 completely replaced? Considering EFI can only boot (unless you give it some extra drivers) a FAT partition. My phone and camera also still are formatted FAT. Am I living in the past?

    I should have said as the primary or the default file system - FAT32 and exFAT are secondary choices. Why EFI requires FAT is beyond me. It probably has to do with avoiding accidental encryption

    Maybe 'cos it's universal across all OS', I presume.

    Microsoft has not replaced FAT32 yet!

    As more and more computers are running UEFI, FAT32 partitions are not ready to fade away!

    Luckily, I believe we can scratch FAT16!

    ReFS is not really a file system, so it will not replace NTFS, which is. ReFS is just parity, etc., scrubbing and automated repair on Windows spaces, which is also not a file system.
