   Given MS's FAT history I recall that I had been impressed about   
   MS's NTFS concept back these days. (It won't compare with ZFS or   
   other things we got, but for Windows standards it was very good.   
   I think they had borrowed concepts of NTFS from other vendors.)   
   WRT external media, that you focus on, there's yet more issues   
   than the file system; when I wanted some external file storage   
   system I recall I had bad experiences with the primitive (slow)   
   protocols regularly used between the device and the computer   
   (of course speaking about consumer-grade system configurations,   
   not professional ones).
