The Superior Features of NTFSĬompared to the Windows 95 file allocation table (FAT), you can’t deny that NTFS does so great job in performance, extendibility, and security. While as a successor, NTFS can deal with all these problems and more: NTFS offers a number of improvements over FAT such as supporting metadata and using advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability, and disk space utilization, and several additional extensions.

In addition, it does not provide any data protection when power off.

However, FAT32 has its limitations, for example, the single file size of it cannot be bigger than 4GB and partition with a maximum size of 32GB. It was first introduced by Microsoft in 1993.īefore the advent of NTFS, the default file system of Windows operating systems is FAT32 file system. Starting with Windows NT 3.1, it is the default file system for the Windows NT family. NTFS is short for the New Technology File System and is a proprietary file system developed by Microsoft.
