A file system is a method used by operating systems to organize and store data on storage devices such as hard drives and SSDs. It defines the structure and format of files and directories, as well as mechanisms for accessing, modifying, and managing them. Some common types of file systems include FAT (File Allocation Table), NTFS (New Technology File System), ext4 (Fourth Extended File System), and HFS+ (Hierarchical File System Plus).
