Linux 7.1 has merged a new NTFS driver (originally called NTFSPlus) that significantly improves file access performance between Windows and Linux partitions. Benchmarks show single-threaded write speeds 3-5% faster, multi-threaded writes 35-110% faster, and mounting a 4TB drive roughly 4x faster compared to the existing NTFS3 driver. The change, four years in the making, addresses long-standing stagnation in NTFS3 and should make dual-booting a more seamless experience.

Linux 7.1 just killed one of dual-booting's biggest headaches

Accessing files from Windows drives is about to get a lot faster

I think you meant solved, not killed.

linux again proving why it is better at being Windows than Windows is,Can’t wait for the day I mount my C: drive in o.5 seconds just to delete system32 with peak efficiency

Linux serial killer since 100 years for sure

OMG, does this mean my WSL Linux (Ubuntu running in Windows) will also be able to access my files faster?
Currently trying to even test websites with it is hard because file access is so painfully SLOW.
This could be a godsend if this is a part of that slowdown.

what things are comming in the new update
