| | Re: What is the Best file system for a 4Gb USB flash disk? It would have been formatted FAT32, not FAT16 which can only address a 2GB partition.

| | Re: What is the Best file system for a 4Gb USB flash disk? FAT32 is the best to use for the flash drive. FAT & FAT32 should have no noticeable differences in speed. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com "Amin" <Amin@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:83487F49-2A4F-4FF4-BF32-C9ED6953671E@xxxxxx Quote: >i have a 4Gb USB Flash disk that originally formated with FAT file system, > but windows recommended to format it with FAT32. > my Question is that FAT file system is FASTER than FAT32 for USB flash > disks? > Thanks... |

| | Re: What is the Best file system for a 4Gb USB flash disk? The present devices are all FAT32. Vista SP1 will support exFat which is a new extension to FAT that permits file sizes up to 32GB. The present devices will not be backwards compatible with exFAT so hold off until devices supporting exFAT begin to come to market.
