FAT16 (File Allocation Table 16) is a file system that supports disk partitions of up to 2 GB and utilizes 16-bit addressing for file allocation. It organizes files into clusters, with a maximum of 65,536 clusters, allowing for efficient storage management. FAT16 is simple and widely compatible, making it suitable for smaller storage devices and embedded systems. However, it has limitations in terms of file size and maximum volume size compared to newer file systems.
