What is exfat file type?

exFAT is not a file type. It is a file system of the FAT family. FAT comes from file allocation table and originated with the early FAT12 file system used on floppies, then to FAT16, and with WIndows 98 OSR2 added the FAT32 file system. The extended FAT file system, called exFAT for short is the latest and was made available for the desktop with Vista SP1 in 2008.


Will an exfat format work on the Playstation 3?

Currently the PS3 does not support xeFAT for external HDDs. It only supports FAT32 formatted drives which means that it does not allow files bigger than 4GB on external HDDs. This is crazy as the PS3 is supposed to be a HD movie playing machine but most HD films are larger than 4GB. Ah well hopefully it will support exFAT at some time in the future.

What type of file system is used by SDXC memory cards?

Most memory cards are formatted with any denomination of the FAT file system (the most commonplace nowadays being FAT32, with a select few opting for exFAT - but not everything supports exFAT). However, you can format the volume with whatever filesystem you desire and what your requirements need (FAT, NTFS, EXT2/3/4, ReiserFS, HFS/HFS+, and so on)

Does ps4 or xbox one support exfat?

PS4 confirmed supports ExFat format (read & write) from USB Thumb Drive and USB External Hard Disk Drive - Tried it myself. Not an Xbox One owner, so not sure on that console, but it should be since it's using Win 8 as an OS...


Should you reformat your hard drive in in NFTS or exFAT?

If you are using anything after Windows NT (2000, XP, or 7) you definatly should use NTFS for security purposes as well as maximum size of partition (which bigger for NTFS). If you are working with Windows Me and earlier you should use exFAT. Be careful though not all old OSes support it.
