Just double checking that there are no issues with HDS and ReFS formated drives (I assume not). I'm converting my data NTFS drives across to ReFS and it all seems fine so far.
Thanks

Re: Question on ReFS and HDS
Hi Nathan,
I can confirm that there should be absolutely no issue with ReFS.
Generally, the disk monitoring, testing, alert functions in Hard Disk Sentinel work completely independently from the actual file system, so should work even with unformatted drives or hard disks with partitions un-readable under Windows (for example Linux partitions).

Thanks - as I expected! So far I'm liking ReFS over NTFS!

Re: Question on ReFS and HDS
To be honest, personally I only did some quick tests but did not yet use ReFS for longer time (and with lots of data).
Yes, its fault tolerance seems much better and more stable over NTFS. Hopefully no more chkdsk

Re: Question on ReFS and HDS
I'll let you know how it goes. I've almost finished converting all my drive in one pool from NTFS to ReFS. As this pool consists of 30+TB with 700K items, I am really looking forward to no more NTFS errors as at this size stuff was taking ages for scan/repair with CHKDSK (on two occasions it trashed my pools post SATA card changes). FYI, with ReFS there is no more CHKDSK at all (it will not even run over these drives)!
