New Technology File System (NTFS)

The New Technology File System (NTFS) is a file system developed by Microsoft for storing and managing files on Windows operating systems. It organizes data efficiently on hard drives, allowing for larger file sizes and advanced features like file permissions, encryption, and compression. NTFS also supports error recovery and can handle large storage devices, making it reliable for both personal and enterprise use. It improves performance and security compared to older systems, helping users manage their data more effectively while ensuring that files are protected and accessible only to authorized users.
