week 6

This week in Computer Hardware and Software Management we learned about the different file types such as exFAT, NTFS, FAT32 and CDFS.  CDFS stands for CD file system and it is the file type you get when you export tracks from a CD.  ExFAT and FAT32 are file types most commonly used for thumb drives FAT32 is the older of the two so most flash drives tend to use it as basically anything can access it unfortunately FAT32 comes with quite a few limitations in its memory storage it can’t store more then 4 GB as one file and can’t store more than 8 TB total with this system exFAT is almost the same as FAT32 except without limitations.  NTFS is the main file system put into place for windows it allows partition and main file sizes with almost no limit and is normally read only on MAC and Linux systems.
