ReFS only got put back into normal Windows 11 a few months ago. That's a good sign for the future, but it was looking bad for a long time.

Also if you turn on data checksums, my understanding is it will delete any file that gets a corrupted sector. And you can only override this behavior on a per-file basis. Unless this changed very recently?




Oh, is it no longer exiled to Windows Pro for Workstations? This feature comparison chart still has this there:

For what it’s worth, regular Windows 10 & 11 Pro (and other editions maybe?) have supported reading and writing ReFS this whole time. It’s just the option to create a new volume that’s been disabled.


It still sort of is but you can create Dev Drive which is based on ReFS
