Microsoft Dev Drive launched for developers
Briefly

Microsoft launched Dev Drive, a new storage solution targeting developers' needs for performance, security, and control. Built on the Resilient File System (ReFS), it allows for build times up to 30% faster than existing Windows 11 configurations. The system was developed based on developer feedback highlighting slow file input/output as a productivity issue. Key features include asynchronous scanning from Microsoft Defender Antivirus, which operates in the background without impacting system security or performance. Developers and administrators can further customize Dev Drive for specific requirements, enhancing the overall development experience.
