    Default Which format?(pendrive)

    My new Transcend 32GB pendrive isn't working properly when formatted in Fat32
    file system. I am unable to transfer big ISO image or rar files, but when formatted in NTFS file system everything works fine. Does anyone know the reason? Is there any risk in formatting with NTFS?

    NTFS is better than Fat32
    Fat32 max size limit is 4GB per file.

    use the pendrive in NTFS file system.

    No risk. Actually, NTFS is much preferred.

    HHmm..FAT32 limits the file size to 4GB. Use NTFS and enjoy

    No risk. Infact NTFS gives somewhat better performance. Enjoy it now

    FAT and FAT32 are older filesystems and have the maximum file size limit. For larger file support use only NTFS.
