Hello, Your Comptia A+ Very Helpful. Maybe, Comptia A+ has a new syllabus or curriculum, is there any resource or video or playlist of new comptia A+? Please kindly respond.

[@alcindodelgado7154]

I wanted to know the name of the emulator you used to create the animated servers and racks. ? thanks so much

[@alcindodelgado7154]

please you understood my question ,my english is not very good sorry

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Everything is done in powerpoint

[@alcindodelgado7154]

ok thanks so much your lessons are excellent congratulations

[@rizwanarasheed]

I've been in the IT industry - professionally since 1997. The information in your videos is precise and accurate. One of the best channels on KZbin for sure!

[@grzegorzjozwenko4188]

I'm sorry, but "precise and accurate" is wrong on NTFS file system. NTFS came along with the Windows NT 3.1 system much, much earlier the Windows XP. Please don't mislead people. Regards.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Yes..but as the video stated...it didn't become widely used until XP.

Mr Rizwan , please guide me to get a job. I m a network engineer

[@goddy5890]

​@@grzegorzjozwenko4188 The current version of NTFS that is still in use today was introduced with XP

[@romenick18]

​@Grzegorz Józwenko the day it is released doesn't mean anything right now. So misleading isn't the right word.

[@ahmad-murery]

I feel more confident when I know what I'm dealing with, Thank you for your continued efforts In making high-tech topics look simpler.

One more good feature in NTFS is Increased reliability. NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency of the file system when the computer is restarted after a system failure. After a bad-sector error, NTFS dynamically remaps the cluster that contains the bad sector, and allocates a new cluster for the data. It also marks the original cluster as bad, and no longer uses the old cluster. For example, after a server crash, NTFS can recover data by replaying its log files. NTFS continuously monitors and corrects transient corruption issues in the background without taking the volume offline. This feature is known as self-healing NTFS, which was introduced in Windows Server 2008. (source: Microsoft)

[@bluegizmo1983]

One thing you should've mentioned is, exFAT is by far the best for portable drives. It doesn't have the file size limitations of FAT32, It's supported by 99% of devices made in the last 10+ years, and most importantly for portable drives is it does NOT require properly ejecting the disk before removal! I can't tell you how many times I've corrupted the files on a flash drive or USB hdd because it was using FAT32 or NTFS and I forgot to properly eject it before unplugging it.

[@h47man]

Are you sure about that?

please do a video then 😊

Quick, consise and straight to the point. I just started my first real job in IT and this really helps, definitely took notes on this, cheers.

[@marcel_max]

This video could not arrive at a better moment. Earlier today I was just asking myself if I should buy the exfat package for my synology NAS. After watching this I found out that in my situation I don't need it. Thank you!

Thank you sir. I am a computer engineer student and I have an exam tomorrow. This video in english is more understandable than my teacher's notes in turkish.🧑‍💻

[@Mduduzi...Motloung]

This Channel deserves a Ballon d`or !!!!!!

[@alexandrenappez]

Thanks for another good video. I would have added that NTFS was the file system introduced for Windows NT back then. NT and consumer Windows merged around the time XP was released and NTFS became the file system used by all windows versions.

[@willkill1713]

Another amazing video. For sure, one of the most underrated channels of KZbin. It's a shame.

[@Michael_Livingstone]

I love your videos as they’re to the point and presented in a simple coherent way. Thanks for making them!

A visual treat for technology people like me :) Thanks for yet another awesome video !!

[@clertonsantiago]

Dude i use ntfs since 2015 when pc became my main platform to work-until 2020, and gaming at nowtime. To me after trying another protocols, i notice many different things, stability specifically but another more things that i considered improvements, like constantly system speed, much less stuttering when i gaming, system response at various situations when im editing music files and so on. May be placebo effect in my case but it's what i noticed. Thanks and great video, subscription✔️

[@keltyll]

Amazing! thank you. Can you please make a similar video about EXT4, BTRFS, ZFS etc?

[@Soundwave142]

I second this!

[@_____rnld]

Also APFS

[@danielho5635]

It's simple: For linux root filesystems, the major distros only support ext4, Btrfs and XFS with ext4 and Btrfs being favored. ZFS is the best for large data, but has problems because it is not widely supported by all distros. Btrfs is the 2nd best for large data if you can't use ZFS. XFS is good for smaller setups if you can put the log file on a separate SSD. I personally use ext4 for root w/ speedup fstab options and NILFS2 for /home because of its continuous snapshots.

[@justassimple8328]

There's another uncommon file system for Windows is ReFS. I've heard once before

[@domxem5551]

@@justassimple8328 That is an “improved” version of NTFS, used mostly in Windows Server. There is online available info if you want to learn more about it

[@HomeMadeBoards]

Went to go buy a seagate and figured PCIe NVMe in an enclosure to be cheaper. Legit couldn't release this at a better time, thank you!!!

[@P10101G]

Keep in mind that when using NTFS, the previous version option is only available if there is a restore point on the system.

[@davidspencer5668]

Very Educational indeed Buddy, now I know why I couldn't back up my OUTLOOK file (23 Gb) to my memory stick. I reformated to exFAT and was able to copy this file sized 23 Gb, Thanks a lot Buddy , you learn something every day on this channel 🙂

This is what I needed, the timing is so perfect cuz today I was wondering what option should I use for formatting my Pendrive

[@crazyfinn66]

NT file system (NTFS), which is also sometimes called the New Technology File System, is a process that the Windows NT operating system uses for storing, organizing, and finding files on a hard disk efficiently. NTFS was first introduced in 1993, as apart of the Windows NT 3.1 release.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

correct...but it wasn't widely used until years later

[@crazyfinn66]

@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos Oh, ok, we used NT3.1 with NTFS in1995 when I was working for Ericsson... But ok, we was "groundbreaking"

[@Ometecuhtli]

NTFS was even less compatible back then as Windows was still derived from the original file manager of the 80s (mainly FAT12 and FAT16 for the common user), IBM used their own filesystem as did Solaris, of course Apple was doing it's own thing and Linux was just a baby.

[@santoshloke]

[@jiakai]

I checked out the property of disk c and disk d in my windows11 and found that the file system is NTFS. Nice Video.❤❤❤❤❤

[@987computer]

FAT32 is still in use to this day for compatibility with computers using EFI firmware instead of the traditional classic BIOS. Normally it's really small enough just for the EFI boot file(s), as well as a few other files the loaded boot manager in particular might need in order to load an OS on the much larger non-FAT partition (whether it's formatted as NTFS or Ext4) that contains the necessary files to complete the booting process.

[@klwthe3rd]

Awesome videos as always!!! I wish you could do a video on the EFS so people can learn how to lock an individual file and folder encase they don't want to use FDE for the whole drive. Thanks.

[@CesaR-nq5qq]

Excellent video. Love the animation and design.

[@joysticksforjesuschrist]

This was AWESOME! Thank you Scott!

[@danielho5635]

5:11 NTFS is not only the Windows "default" choice -- it is the ONLY choice. As a comp tech w/ 40+ yrs experience, I prefer using 128 GB for NTFS root, and the rest for user's data in exFAT. Those permissions ars a PITA when trying to retrieve data from a crashed/unbootable Windows system. exFAT can also use smaller block sizes than FAT32 which make it more efficient for storing many smaller files.

[@wasihunmetadel4510]

The genius come back

[@markshade8398]

Great video in lots of ways. But I would say that NTFS became popular first in Windows NT (especially with 3.51 and 4.0) and became the overall standard staring in Windows 2000.

[@filosofiadetalhista]

That was amazing. Very well explain, AFAICT.

[@TechSY730]

4:04 Actually, the latest filesystem from Microsoft is actually ReFS, Resilient File System. Introduced in August 2012 in Windows Server 2012 However, this is very much designed for "fancy" or "professional" uses: checksumming, data deduplication, support for _massive_ storage arrays (we are talking exabytes, which is about 1 _billion_ gigabytes), and being RAID aware Much of this is of l very little use to "regular users", so probably for the best that this video didn't cover it. For the few power users here who could make use of these, Windows 10 can has full R/W ReFS support.

Awesome. Next step; please do a video on GUID vs MBR. I was tearing my hair out years ago not knowing why I couldn't do a 5th partition on a drive until I found a tiny little technical paragraph explaining my exact issue. Just last week I have a system which wouldn't read a handful of thumb drives (like 12) and I finally found a drive it would read and write to and I notice the only difference was this tiny partition detail most people overlook. I still have some testing to confirm this is the issue, but it is something I would like to understand more.
