ReFS
Resilient File System
Designed to maximize data availability, scale efficiently to large data sets across diverse workloads, and provide data integrity by means of resiliency to corruption.
NTFS
Windows NT File System
MBR
Master Boot Record
Limited to 2TB and 4 primary partitions OR 3 primary and 1 extended
GPT
GUID Partition Table
Recommended for configurations larger than 2TB
Basic disks
Divided into partitions; easily convert to dynamic disks
Dynamic disks
Divided into volumes; destructive conversion to basic disks
Simple volume
Uses only one disk or a portion of a disk
Spanned volume
Simple volume that spans multiple disks with a maximum of 32
Striped volume
Stores data in stripes on two or more disks. Fast but not fault tolerant.
Mirrored volume
Fault tolerant because exact copy of data is on another disk
RAID-5 volume
Stored in stripes across three or more disks, is fault tolerant.
Volume set
Created from volumes that span multiple drives by taking the free space on those drives to create what looks like a single drive.
Storage Pools
A group of physical disks that allow an administrator to delegate administration, expand disk sizes and group disks together
