FAT32 is supported virtually everywhere, NTFS is not. The following scenario: You only have a working Mac available and need to access your data urgently, what are you doing?

exFAT might be a better choice, as you don’t have 4 GB file sizes.

Then you connect the hard drive. Mac can read NTFS, but not write.

ex-FAT

  • that does not have the 4GB restriction of FAT32
  • can be used by any current operating system
  • and you get no problems with any NTFS permissions when recovering.

FAT32 / exFAT are license-free and can therefore also be read by any device. If backup already, but with one of them, so you can really get there under any circumstances, otherwise the backup could be worthless. If the files or hard drives are very large, of course exFAT.

The story with 32: has nothing to do with a 32bit computer, but refers to the internal structure of the file system (that’s why it’s limited).

NTFS is a pure Microsoft story. You can do it, but you’re bad with other systems. I wouldn’t take a backup to keep my leg.

From when is the page? So it’s not really up to now.

But if you chose exfat, it’s also ok.

In fact, time has slowed down But is still used for camera, etc. Fat32 cannot process files larger than 4 GB. This makes it (for me) useless as exterm. That means no movies or large container files
