Format

[nyxanna]

I have a 64MB and 2GB USB and I was wondering what system I should format them to?
FAT, FAT32 or NTFS?

NTFS is usually best these days unless you are going to use them cross-platform or with a media player (DVD with USB connection for example). Then FAT32 may work better.

NTFS can do two things that FAT can't:

- it can store files larger than 4GB
- it can store alternate data streams which are used for things like file tags and ratings

If you need those features, then choose NTFS. Otherwise, FAT is a more universally recognized format that can be used in computers and other devices such as TV sets, etc.
