Besides the Metro UI and a ton of other new features, Windows 8 has something more in store – a shiny new file system. Though only for the Windows Server 8, the ReFS, or the Resilient File System is a next generation file system built upon the NTFS. ReFS will retain a high level of compatibility with NTFS features by reusing NTFS’ API/semantics engine. Apart from being a better storage system in general, the ReFS will bring a new storage engine that is expected to resist data corruption, protect again latent disk errors, grant large volume, directory and file size and uphold metadata integrity.
