It looks a bit "concerning"

It is past time for a new file system for Windows. Now we are into multi Terabyte home PCs we need something a bit more rugged than NTFS. MS were going to release a new FS a couple of years ago but that has gone all quiet. I wonder if one of the newer Linux FS would be better?

Maybe every PC should come with a full raid set up. SSDs are cheap now although 3 2Tb SSDs might mean the death of low cost PCs.

May as well have ECC memory support as well.

I was reading that earlier from another forum. Damn straight it's scary! I'm like you, I just got a basic understanding of it.

It's sad that it's been around since Windows XP, and nothing's been done about it.

Read the comments on the site. Maybe ( ) not so scary as on first reading.

I am a very old, but mostly absent, member of the forums of that site. It tends, very satisfactorily, to deal with virus problems as a priority, so well worth watching. I had totally forgotten that I was even a member!

Well I certainly won't be downloading the file, I have already had 2 SSD's and 1 HDD fail on me in the last year, both SSD's were from Sandisk and I bought them both in the same shop so assume it was a factory batch problem, they were replaced by the shop!.
