| [[wp>FAT32]] was a common multiplatform file system. It can be read/write by Windows, macOS, Linux, and any other device you might have (smartTV, tablets, car audio with usb, etc). Its has two major drawbacks given its age: it cannot store files larger than 3.9 GB, and it lacks journaling support, meaning it's also prone to corruption if the device is disconnected while writing. This can lead to data loss if the device is written again without running a filesystem check. | |
