A speed comparison between en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcachefs, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS, and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS on Linux. These are all file systems, like windows ntfs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS or the apple journalling file system en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System.

While usually unimportant for most use-cases, and with each offering differing features and capabilities, in data-heavy systems speed can be an important factor in determining whether to use one file system over another.

It’s also ‘my car can beat your car in a drag race’ for geeks, because again it usually doesn’t matter and features are far more important than speed for the typical user.
