What is the best file system?
#6
Quoted for the truth, very simple but effective explanation.

1) Boot time with FAT32 is increased in hard drives larger then 32 GB because of the time required to read all of the FAT structure.
2) Read/write performance with FAT32 is affected because the file system must determine the free space on the disk through the small views of the massive FAT structure.
