Bruce said:Personally, I wouldn't even consider using FAT32 when NTFS is an
option. FAT32 has no security capabilities, no compression
capabilities, no fault tolerance, and a lot of wasted hard drive space
on volumes larger than 8 Gb in size. But your computing needs may
vary, and there is no hard and fast answer.
David Candy said:Fat32 is fault tolerant (more so than NTFS),
is defragmentation tolerant, is faster on small drives and with large files on large drives.
David Candy said:But most file data is stored twice in Fat. Not so NTFS.
Fat32 looks for 500K free space before writing.
