Editor to share with you what the fat format refers to, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to understand it!

Fat format belongs to the disk format under windows, but the fat format is basically no longer used. The disk formats under windows mainly include FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and so on. The latest format is exFAT. Different disk formats have different characteristics.

Disk is the most commonly used memory in computer. The main disk formats under windows are FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and so on. The latest format is exFAT. Different disk formats have different characteristics. The FAT format is basically no longer in use. The format under linux is ext series, ext4,ext3 and so on.

ExFAT

More than 4GB USB disk format is NTFS partition by default, but this format is very harmful, because the NTFS partition is a "journal" file system, need to record detailed read and write operations, it will definitely hurt the flash drive chip, because you have to read and write constantly.

Please take a look at the comparison of exFAT, NTFS and FAT partitions.

advantage

1. Support for very large files and storage devices

two。 Support for performance improvement

3. Support for the scalability of future innovation

4. Add Flash media compatibility

Inferior position

The Windows version is demanding.

Use

ExFAT was originally designed to achieve a compromise between FAT32 and NTFS, with the lightweight of FAT32, not consuming too much performance and memory to deal with file operation, and CAL access control mechanisms similar to NTFS, and similar HPFS systems can quickly organize the Free Space Bitmap of available cluster space to minimize file fragmentation. However, in order to really compare the fragmentation of files when using FAT32, NTFS and exFAT, it is difficult to make an objective comparison. The only thing that can be tested is access performance, especially when the largest cluster size of exFAT reaches an amazing 32MB, and even NTFS has only 64KB. If the portable disc is really used to store large files of BD Remux easily on GB, how much performance will be improved when the cluster of exFAT is set large? ExFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) is a new format suitable for portable discs or portable devices (such as PDA), which first appeared in WinCE 6.0in 2006. in order to improve the compatibility with the desktop operating system and facilitate the synchronization of portable devices, Vista SP1 was officially incorporated into the file system supported by the desktop operating system, but what is closely related to the average player lies in the application on the USB disk.
