How old is ext4?
15 years.
Modern Linux systems are slowly moving toward Btrfs at least... which is pretty young compared to ext4 and Ntfs.
XFS, the default filesystem in Red Hat, is older than NTFS. Released 1994.
I'll say this, the previous admin of one of the Linux servers I support set up RAID-0 striping for the main data slice (must have been dropped on their head as a child or something). Two drives, and one of the drives developed bad sectors, but I was still able to recover 95% of the data before it shit the bed completely. So, XFS is apparently quite resilient, or I got lucky.
