operating system - NTFS vs FAT32 Search Time -
i'm doing paper on ntfs vs fat32 , showing comparison between both file systems. far knowledge goes, know ntfs uses mft holding files , directories whereas fat32 knows following cluster specific file or directory. means fat32 doesn't know a-priori first block of file if not found first looking in specific directory.
my question following, if ntfs holds information regarding file system in file mean it's going faster when doing raw search filename "test.txt" within system? know, fat have scan every directory in hard drive , in each directory if filename exists whereas in ntfs, needs scan mft file contiguous record has name : "text.txt". right or i'm missing something?
i don't know, yes(40% bet), turn problem stack overflow coding on-topic here resources can find answer , give self-answer:
probably, reading "text":
for sure, reading "code":

all of above resources should agree on concept , 2 last resources show how machines treat problem without marketing talk (machines don't understand marketing , advertising well)
