    What a click bait title. Article goes on to explain the rational reasons why ReFS wasn’t built for mainstream use and doing so might bloat its performance on the very server systems it was designed to be efficient for.

    I wish Microsoft adopted and upstreamed changes to OpenZFS instead of duplicating all this effort.

    Though then I’m sure they would tell the community to fuck off by trying to take over the entire project and pushing the actually open and compatible version out of favour.

    It’s not ready yet. It’s good for some specific use cases but it’s not anything the typical end user needs.

      This. NTFS is still the gold standard for stability. ReFS is meant for data ops, and while it’s fairly stable, and offers a lot of advantages, it’s not perfect and can suffer greatly if used incorrectly. Until the quirks are gone, users are probably better off with NTFS for a lot of reasons.
