What is the difference between the file allocation table used by the ex-FAT file system and the one used by the FAT32 file system?

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.

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)

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.

Xbox 360 is not compatible with xfat formatted hard drives. In order to use the hard drive, it will need to be reformatted. If you are unable to do this with the operating system that you have, you can download a third party format tool which will do the job.
