Ntfs Or Fat32

I know how FAT16 FAT32 and NTFS work.

But I see a lot of Videos on youtube that say if you are useing Big Drives for Storing Files use FAT32.

They say it is Safe because if anything happens to it you can get Data off it.
And you can Fix it and things like this.

What do they mean?

How do you Fix a FAT32 that you can not Fix an NTFS?

 

What do you plan on using these options for.

 

I though Fat 32 was not secure.Compared to NTFS.And from what i understand Individual files on a FAT32 drive can’t be over 4 GB in size limitations.

 

What videos?

The only reason to go with FAT32 is if you're using these drives on Android, Mac or Linux. Otherwise, NTFS is the better choice.

 

this article might help explain the differences

sometimes, it's a personal preference soft of thing.

 

What ever works best for your specific need. Quite a number of different file systems out there today. I usually use ex-fat or NTFS at default.

 

Thanks plodr!
I was wondering about those TB drives being formatted with FAT32.

 

You can Format the drives to Fat32 using Rufus But from what i understand it's not as secure as NTFS format.

Edit:The only real reason you would need FAT 32 is for like music.For instance if your car has a usb option to play off the USB stick.You would need to convert your usb or drive to FAt 32 for the car to be able to read it.

 

I have a Micro SD Card for my Win10 Tablet.

It is 256 GB and I Formated it with NTFS.

I am going to have Videos Books and Music on it.
