A September 2026 comparison of Btrfs, bcachefs, OpenZFS, XFS, NTFS and ReFS, backed by new real-hardware results from modern-fs-benchmark. Every checksumming filesystem survived injected corruption, while XFS and ext4 on plain RAID silently returned bad data. The article also covers the tradeoffs that remain: snapshot costs, latency under load, tuning traps and licensing. It ends with pros, cons and picks by use case.
