exFAT (Extensible File Allocation Table) is a file system introduced by Microsoft in 2006 and optimized for flash memory such as USB flash drives and SD cards. [6] exFAT was proprietary until 28 August 2019, when Microsoft published its specification. [7] Microsoft owns patents on several elements of its design.
Drive description / mirroring flags (bits 3-0: zero-based number of active FAT, if bit 7 set. [4] If bit 7 is clear, all FATs are mirrored as usual. Other bits reserved and should be 0.) DR-DOS 7.07 FAT32 boot sectors with dual LBA and CHS support utilize bits 15-8 to store an access flag and part of a message.
Contents. File Allocation Table. File Allocation Table (FAT) is a file system developed for personal computers and was the default filesystem for MS-DOS and Windows 9x operating systems. [citation needed] Originally developed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, it was adapted for use on hard disks and other devices.
The Transaction-Safe FAT File System (TFAT) of the TFAT12, TFAT16 and TFAT32 file systems is a driver layer modification to the original FAT file systems FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 maintaining two copies (FAT 0 and FAT 1) of the file allocation table instead of two identical ones. While performing a drive operation, changes would be made to FAT 1.
The USB mass storage device class (also known as USB MSC or UMS) is a set of computing communications protocols, specifically a USB Device Class, defined by the USB Implementers Forum that makes a USB device accessible to a host computing device and enables file transfers between the host and the USB device. To a host, the USB device acts as an ...
OS/2, Windows NT, Linux, DragonFly BSD, eComStation, ArcaOS. HPFS (High Performance File System) is a file system created specifically for the OS/2 operating system to improve upon the limitations of the FAT file system. It was written by Gordon Letwin and others at Microsoft and added to OS/2 version 1.2, at that time still a joint undertaking ...
FatFs is a lightweight software library for microcontrollers and embedded systems that implements FAT / exFAT file system support. [1] Written on pure ANSI C, FatFs is platform-independent and easy to port on many hardware platforms such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARM, Z80. FatFs is designed as thread-safe and is built into ChibiOS, RT-Thread, ErlendOS ...
List. Disk cloning capabilities of various software. ^ Sector-by-sector transfer involves accessing the disk directly and copying the contents of each sector, thus accurately reproducing the layout of the source disk. ^ File-based transfer (as opposed to sector-by-sector transfer), involves opening all files and copying their contents, one by ...
