Every memory-related device comes with FAT32 file system.
Though this file system does not support many features provided by NTFS, this is highly compatible with the wide range of operating systems. There are three file formats that the most used Windows OS supports - FAT32, exFAT and NTFS.įAT in FAT32 stands for File Allocation Table and 32 represents the number of table elements in a precursor.
It contains the file type, access privileges, soft link or hard link, date of creation, date of latest modification etc. The file system holds different metadata about a given file. A file system is the organised way in which the operating system maintains the files.
