For example, to make a USB flash drive work on a PS4 or other devices that only recognize FAT32. Sometimes, users need to format hard drive to FAT32 for different purposes. FAT32 also has a significant advantage – it decreases the waste of disk space and increases disk capacity-factor. It adopts 32bytes file allocation table, which increases the ability of disk management and breaks through the limits to the 2GB capacity of every partition of FAT16 – a partition in FAT32 can be up to 32GB in size. Can anyone tell me how to get it done? Why format hard drive to FAT32?įAT32 is one type of file system in Windows like NTFS and exFAT. Later, I learnt that that was because the USB itself was beyond 32GB which caused the failure.
However, when I tried formatting it to FAT32 with Disk Management which is the only compatible file system, I failed. It’s 3.0 and I plan on using it on my console to do some data transmission. Help! Today, I bought a 64GB USB flash drive from a local digital store.
