FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32)

FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32) is a file system used to organize data on storage devices like USB drives and memory cards. It maintains a table that tracks where files are stored across the device’s memory, allowing the operating system to read and write data efficiently. FAT32 can handle drives up to 2 terabytes and files up to 4 gigabytes. It’s compatible with many operating systems, making it versatile, though it’s less advanced compared to newer systems. Overall, FAT32 provides a simple way to manage files on removable storage devices.
