With all of the major file-systems seeing clean-up work during the Linux 4.21 merge window (now known as Linux 5.0 and particularly with F2FS seeing fixes as a result of it being picked up by Google for support on Pixel devices, I was curious to see how the current popular mainline file-system choices compare for performance. Btrfs, EXT4, F2FS, and XFS were tested on a SATA 3.0 solid-state drive, USB SSD, and an NVMe SSD.

Would have been nice if JFS was included as all the benchmarks are more than 10/15 years ago. I have been using it since 1998 one way or another. AIX/OS2/Linux.

Yeah, I know about backups but sometimes people don't have them or they fail.

It's weird how BTRFS performs so well on the NVMe and so bad when connected vie SATA. What's so different there?
