+sparrow40k Their is not a ton of difference at the end of the day. I think EXT4 has a negligable performance advantage over ntfs, more significant if you customize the format for your specific application, but the same is true for NTFS. NTFS tolerates loss of drive power better than EXT4 as well, which is quite the achievement. If I have a server that loses power abruptly, theres a good chance some data got corrupted that ill have to fix. EXT4 is good at safe guarding against file system corruption, but not individual file data corruption. Data corruption like that is rare on NTFS. For something windows made, ntfs isn't bad :) I am a server admin with linux servers so that's the best compliment you'll get from me on that.

@Roxor128

7 жыл бұрын

Well, it does. As partitions get larger, so do the cluster sizes. A 2GB FAT16 partition (as large as the system can handle) uses 32KB per cluster, so the minimum space taken up on disk by any one file will be 32KB, and every file will take up a multiple of 32KB, regardless of how much actual information is in the file. If on average, each file wastes half a cluster, then ten thousand files will waste around 160MB, which is a pretty significant chunk of the drive's 2GB capacity.

+nhabben1 While ZFS is nice and the stats of it are cool to check out, the easiest way to use it is to use Solaris 10/11, which really doesn't have a lot going for it in terms of home use. On top of that very few people have any need to run ZPools which is really its biggest selling point (I guess along with a 256 zebibyte zpool size limit). So even with all it's bells and whistles, if you've got a Linux OS, I feel like you might as well stick to EXT4 because even though the max partition is smaller than what ZFS allows, one exibibyte is more than anyone normal person can even use... or afford.

For safety reasons, Linux will deny writing onto Windows partitions that are hibernatng (instead of shutdown) so Windows won't crash when you boot.

Hi Thanks for the video. I just bought a samsung evo select 128GB MicroSD in Green colour from USA, when trying to format it, I see exFat as file system which makes sense but I not sure if the default file allocation of 128 kilobytes is correct? any advise? Question 2: I also bought a 1TB WD Mypassport, I attempted to format and saw the default file system was NTFS with and allocation unit of 4096bytes. Was going to format it, selected exFat then the default allocation unit changes to only 256 kilobytes. Any advise u can give me. I am planning using the drive for docs, music, and a few 1 - 2 GB videos, including saving 4K videos going forward.

Surprised you didn't mention one of the main differences between FAT and NTFS: Security. NTFS lets you set user permissions per file (ie. who can read/modify the file), whereas FAT doesn't have any concept of permissioning. Import for system security.

A lot of portable game systems I have use the FAT 32 file system, particularly the Nintendo 3DS, and Android uses FAT 32 as well.

+Imru I Formatting wipes everything. NTFS and all the other file systems are also known as formats. As such you cannot change the format without reformatting. Try backing up your data and then reformatting your drive.

+Draugnoss thank you but not that simple.

Would've been nice to also go over ext and hfs+.

Would FAT32 work best for a 32GB drive? It's the default and Windows refuses to let me make it an install drive on NTFS.
