The MFT = Master File Table. It's a bit like a Phonebook, it contains the details of all files held on your system. Like a address book it is much cheaper to do a lookup on the MFT for files than scan your HDD. Hope this helps

All information about a file, including its size, time and date stamps, permissions, and data content, is stored either in MFT entries, or in space outside the MFT that is described by MFT entries.

What happens in the master file table when a file is stored?

When a file is stored on a NTFS file system, the Master File Table (MFT) is updated to include an entry for that file. This entry contains metadata about the file, including its name, size, creation date, and its location on the disk. Additionally, the MFT keeps track of the file's attributes, such as permissions and other properties. As files are added, modified, or deleted, the MFT is continually updated to reflect these changes.
