TOPIC:

File Systems
A file system is a structure used by an
operating system to organize and
manage files on a storage device
such as a hard drive, solid state drive
(SSD), or USB flash drive. It defines
how data is stored, accessed, and
organized on the storage device.
Different file systems have varying
characteristics and are often specific
to certain operating systems or
devices.
FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT16,
FAT32

FAT is one of the oldest and simplest file


systems. It was initially developed for MS-
DOS and is still used in many removable
storage devices. The two major versions of
this system are FAT16 and FAT32. FAT uses
a file allocation table to keep track of file
locations on the disk. However, it lacks
some advanced features like file
permissions and journaling, making it less
suitable for modern operating systems. FAT
16 was introduced in 1987 with DOS 3.31,
while FAT32 was introduced with Windows
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)

exFAT is a file system introduced by


Microsoft as an improved version of
FAT32. It addresses some of the
limitations of FAT32, allowing for
larger file sizes and better
performance. exFAT is commonly used
for removable storage devices, such
as external SSDs, hard drives, and SD
cards as it provides compatibility
across multiple operating systems. It
was first introduced in 2006 as part of
Windows CE 6.0.
NTFS (New Technology File System)

NTFS is the default file system used


by Windows NT-based operating
systems, starting in 1993 with
Windows NT 3.1, all the way up to and
including Windows 11. It offers
advanced features like file
permissions, encryption, compression,
and journaling. NTFS supports large
file and partition sizes, making it
suitable for modern storage devices.
However, it has limited compatibility
with non-Windows operating systems.
APFS (Apple File System)

APFS is a file system developed by


Apple for macOS, iOS, and other Apple
devices. It is designed to optimize
performance and compatibility with
Apple's hardware and software. APFS
includes features like cloning, file-
level encryption, and improved
performance on solid-state drives. It
was introduced with macOS 10.13 in
2017.
HFS, HFS+ (Hierarchical File System)

HFS is the file system initially used by


Apple computers. It has since been
replaced by HFS+ and APFS. HFS uses
a hierarchical directory structure and
supports features like metadata and
resource forks for storing additional
file information. It is compatible with
older Mac systems. HFS was
introduced in 1986 with System 2.1
for the Mac Plus. HFS+ was
introduced in 1998 with Mac OS 8.1
and phased out in favor of APFS in
Ext4 (Fourth Extended File System)

A widely used file system in the Linux


operating system. It is the successor
to Ext3 and offers several
improvements in terms of
performance, scalability, and
reliability. Ext4 is the default file
system for many Linux distributions. It
was first introduced in 2003.
