About Hard Disk formats nt and fat

A few days ago, when I installed IIS for browsing, I always needed a password and a user name. Then I checked the permissions and set them correctly .. the hard disk format is not found until the end .. the hard disk partition is in NT format .. some friends may use this hard drive format, and some are using FAT32 or fat16 ..
Here I want to talk about the differences between NT and fat:
(1) The fundamental difference between the NT format and the fat format is that the structure is not needed. The NT format is a cluster structure, while the fat is only a table form.
(2) the security of NT format is much better than that of fat. that is to say, it is troublesome to access IIS and databases, but you only need to set the permission for the files to be accessed. this setting method is still available on the Internet ..
(3) The generation of NT-Format hard disk fragments is much smaller than that of fat. The specific reasons are also found on the Internet ..
I will not talk about anything else ..
In addition. some people think that Windows XP can only use partitions in the NT format (such a part is true). This statement is incorrect. I am using the FAT partition, and it is quite comfortable to use, because fat is relatively simple to use .. this avoids many permissions ..
