Explanation:
The ReFS (Resilient File System) is capable of managing extremely large data drives (1 YB Yottabyte),
can auto-detect data corruption, and automatically perform needed repairs without taking the
volume offline.
Quick Tip: The command fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo x: will display the volume file system. ReFS is only
intended for data drives and not compatible with all Windows Server 2012 R2 file system
technologies, however it is compatible with the new Storage Spaces.
