A file system is a type of disk layout structure that allows a user to write and store data into a storage device like USB storage devices, memory cards or solid state drives. Disk Formatting prepares a drive for usage by adding the layout for a file system.
The FAT32 file system is perhaps the most common file system for storage devices. While most disks are preformatted from the factory with a file system, the user may need to change it to another one or perform a format to fix errors on a drive. The application allows the user to format any disk with the FAT 32 file system quickly.
Although the FAT32 is an old file system compared to the more recent New Technology File System (NTFS), it is still beneficial for disks of small sizes and is the choice file system for storage on portable devices such as MP3 players, mobile phones, cameras and many more. So when you need to format the storage media on these devices, reach out for this command-line utility.
Big hard drives are supported
FAT32 Format for PC will format hard drives with big size such as 250 GB. The single file size limit for FAT32 is 4Gigabyte. Moreover, the formatting procedure for large drives can be prolonged as the “chkdsk” commands need to read and verify the integrity of the disk sectors before performing the format. The limit to the FAT32 file system is 1 Terabyte.
FAT32format is licensed as freeware for PC or laptop with Windows 32 bit and 64 bit operating system. It is in hard disk utilities category and is available to all software users as a free download.
