There's a difference between your personal experience and my experience in a professional role handling multiple customer devices every day.

However, I'm also not making a statement about NTFS's reliability vs ext3/ext4. In the years that I worked in that position, I maybe dealt with Linux systems 3 times.

Reminder of the original statement:

> NTFS is an extremely resilient yet boring filesystem, I cannot remember the last time I had to run chkdsk even after an improper shutdown.

I never said anything about catastrophic failure of an NTFS filesystem. I have experienced that, but it was comparatively rare (still happened though). I have, however, have had to run chkdsk fairly often to correct errors. Sometimes user data was affected to some degree, but it was often a matter of system stability and getting Windows back to running without issues.

I still find that NTFS is reasonably resilient and have no qualms with it. I just want to push back against the idea that nothing ever goes wrong with NTFS, which was implied by your statement that you can't remember the last time you used chkdsk.
