But almost anything can be formatted in exFAT (excpet floppies) and USB is not the only removalable media out there.Ĭompatibility: exFAT is right now restricted to the Desktop/Server platforms of Windows XP (SP2 & SP3 with a patch), Vista (SP1 and above), and WIndows 7 (RTM). However, each camera manufacturer has to pay Microsoft like $300K each for the license to the specifications.
Today, USB media does come to mind, but between the SD card association and Sony with the Memory stick, they have adopted exFAT as the exclusive file system of SDXC and XC memory stick media, which is used in cameras, cell phones, GPS, etc and between SD and Sony, that is 90% of the markey. NTFS is not suitable for removalable media, especially since NTFS uses a lazy write, which means that data and control blocks are bufferend into memory, and an abrupt disengage of the media could result in data loss. Suitability: exFAT was designed for removale media. However, this is larger than then the 4GB limit of FAT32. However, since the file system can never be larger than 128PiB, which is smaller than 16EiB, you will never reach the theoretical maximum anyway.
WILL MY SONY BLU RAY READ A USB DRIVE FORMAT IS EXFAT 64 BIT
the number of bytes in a file, is stored in a 64 bit number.
the maxium file size, as in NTFS, is 16EiB because the file size, i.e. So, first, let's talk about file size: Microsoft incorrectly published the maximum file size as 64ZiB, and as a result the Wikipedia and other websites followed along. There has been a lot of inaccurate information posted on exFAT, even Microsoft can't publish the proper detals, as they (Microsoft) published bad information in the KB for the Windows XP/Server 2003 patch to add exFAT support to those systems.
