Explanation
NTFS (New Technology File System), the default Windows file system, uses the Master File Table (MFT) as its central metadata repository. Every file and directory on an NTFS volume has at least one record in the MFT storing attributes such as name, size, timestamps, permissions, and data location. FAT uses a File Allocation Table (chain-based), exFAT uses an Allocation Bitmap and directory entries, and ReFS uses a B+ tree-based metadata store - none of them use an MFT.
