Microsoft Updates the 30-year-old FAT32 File-system with 2TB Volume Size Limits
With the latest Insider update to Windows 11, Microsoft refreshed its 30-year-old FAT32 file-system with support for a maximum volume size of 2 TB. The file-system was limited to 32 GB until now. This update, sin embargo, does not change the maximum file-size limit of 4 GB. The move is probably aimed at making life easy for enterprises using the file-system for whatever reason, or for high capacity removable media to have better cross-platform support (p.ej: to video equipment). If you mainly move files within a Windows ecosystem, it’s highly recommended that you stick to NTFS as it offers security features and support for larger files, which FAT32 doesn’t.
