Guarantee that it wrote the data correctly. Think checksums, like what ZFS/Btrfs have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_corruption#SILENT http://en.wikipedia

Same goes for when it reads back the data.
- millstone 12y agoI'm sorry to hear you lost data due to that issue. NTFS, ext4, and other consumer-targeted filesystems do not have this feature either, so it's unfair to imply this is somehow specific to HFS+ or Macs. You'd have the same issue on a Windows or Ubuntu install.
- binarycrusader 11y agoActually, as of Windows 8.1 (64-bit only), ReFS is now supported which does have those features: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS So in the near future, Windows will have an answer for the general mainstream, while OS X will be left far behind. Even ignoring the checksumming issue, HFS+ has known pathologies not only in reliability but in performance compared to NTFS or even ext4 on Linux. HFS+ is long overdue for replacement.
