U disk format into exFAT what are the advantages of

exFAT (Extended file allocation table file System, extended fat, also known as Fat64, extended file allocation table), is designed to address FAT32 and other files that do not support 4G and larger, for flash memory, The NTFS file system is not suitable for use, and exFAT is more applicable.

The EXFAT format is a format that Microsoft has specifically tailored for u disk, and the exFAT format is a tradeoff between FAT32 and NTFS, with FAT32 portability, no need to wear too much performance and memory to handle file operations, and an NTFS-like CAL access control mechanism ( Unfortunately, there is no exFAT for Cal support in SP1, and similar HPFS systems can quickly organize free space Bitmap for available cluster spaces to minimize file fragmentation.

Note that support for the EXFAT format is available in Windows 7, Windows XP needs to be patched SP3, and Vista needs a SP1 patch to support it. However, the flash drive with this filesystem does not support Windows Vista ReadyBoost.

exFAT is a modern file system, from the above we can clearly see the advantages of exFAT, of course, each format is not so perfect. With the increasing demand on the operating system, we have reason to believe that the future of the new design of the file system may replace today's exfat, let us wait and see.
