exFAT – No More Limitations For FAT32 – USB Rejoice
USB stick manufacturers will rejoice with this news. No longer will their flash memory be limited with the FAT32 file system, but rather an unlimited size of storage space. Up to this point FAT file systems had a limitation of 4GB for a single file size and up to 32GBs for an entire volume. But no more. Microsoft has released a new exFAT file system. This means our USB sticks will become supersized and no longer need to worry about dynamic file structures of NTFS. With USB memory getting bigger each year, this is great news for mobile storage.
