[Sossity]

someone told me about exfat & said it is a bit beter than fat 32, what is the difference? I tried to find the macrumors run down of hard drive formats but could not locate it.

exFAT can be used where the NTFS file system is not a feasible solution, due to data structure overhead, or where the file size or directory restrictions of previous versions of the FAT file system are unacceptable.

It is explained in much more detailed later on in the article under Advantages.
