FAT is the File Allocation Table. It provides the locations of the fragmented pieces of each file on your hard drive. This allows your PC's operating system to pull up complete files when you request them. In summary, it is a file location index necessary to locate files on your hard drive.

FAT (file allocation table) is one of Microsoft's file systems, and has multiple iterations in terms of address size: 8-bit, 12-bit, 16-bit (FAT16), and 32-bit (FAT32). The address sizes signify the maximum filesize for each file. a FAT filesystem using the 32-bit address can only handle up to 4GiB/~4.3GB (4GB in Windows) per file.
