NTFS
NTFS (New Technology File System) is a proprietary file system developed by Microsoft, primarily used in Windows operating systems. It supports advanced features such as file permissions, encryption, compression, journaling for data recovery, and large volume sizes up to 256 TB. NTFS is the default file system for Windows NT-based systems, including Windows 10 and 11, providing robust data management and security capabilities.
Developers should learn NTFS when working on Windows-based applications or systems that require secure file storage, data integrity, and advanced file management features. It is essential for scenarios involving user permissions, disk quotas, or large file handling in Windows environments, such as enterprise software, server administration, or cross-platform development with Windows integration.
