Should i convert my 128 gb USB from EX-FAT to FAT-32?

Thomas3559 · Sep 29, 2015

Hi it seems like my TV isnt compatible with ex fat and only FAT 16 and FAT 32. Im thinking of converting it to FAT 32. What should do? My USB is a 128GB

In the USB
- i have 40 episodes of a tv drama each around 700-800 mb per episode in the USB

As long as you don't have any individual files larger than 4GB, that is the limit of FAT 32. Could be a problem with ripped movies.

and fat32 partition only allow up to 32gb.

^ not true mate - I've got a 128gb flash drive formatted as fat32 .

Hmm so its ok for my case?

and fat32 partition only allow up to 32gb.

But there are third party softwares that i've heard about. And should i do that? Convert it to fat 32 since my TV can't read EX-FAT-_-

Really? Was there any benefits when doing so? Like is it compatible on TV after the conversion?

I'd move everything off & straight reformat it personally - wouldn't trust a converter to not ruin the fat file table which will lose all your stuff

Compatible on my sharp aquos & the Samsung smart TV in the bedroom.

You are right, must be thinking about something else

Hmm yep i've backed it up on another file. How did you do it without decreasing the partition size? What are the methods?

Did you still manage to keep that 128 gb or was it split into 4 partitions of 32 gb each?

rgd1101 · Sep 29, 2015

Thomas3559 :

128 gb. I was wrong. madmatt30 is correct, try his solution

madmatt30 · Sep 29, 2015

The 32gb thingbis just windows 7 & earliest native formatting limit - that was what you were thinking of matey.

Format single partition with that program - windows will have no problem using it at all for reading/writing.

madmatt30 · Oct 1, 2015
