It supports the New Technology File System (NTFS) which was used in Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server editions, Vista and Windows 7. It has changed from the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system which was used in earlier versions (and is still used in many removable devices). The reason for this is that NTFS uses access control lists (ACL) to track files and prevent less fragmentation, extra security protocols and a technology so that hard drive space can be utilized more efficiently.
