NTFS General properties
  Versions
    NTFS 3.1 
    NTFS 3.51 (1)
    NTFS 4.0 (1.1) 
      - NTFS 4 will convert a NTFS 3.51 volume to 4.0 automatically.
    NTFS 5.0 (Win 2000, XP)

  Cluster size of NTFS smaller than FAT 32. (Uses full 32 bit pointers)
    Default 4KiB (8 sector) clusters.
    Can be overriden for larger clusters, but disables compression. 

  Legacy BIOS support still limits maximum partition size to 2TB.

  Using UEFI and 64-bit support,
    Partitons and files up to 16TiB (64KB/cluster) in size on system 
    
  No more than 4 billion files per volume.

  NTFS does not do writethrough, but buffers files in memory. 
    So not functional on removable media. Make sure you unmount them before
    removing. Also, problems if you use USB support on KVM switches.
