USB Flash Drive.

Unread postby trev123 » Thu Mar 08, 2018 12:23 pm

Anytime I tried to put a file more than 4gb on my 32gb flash drive it would say that it was full. After searching the internet I found that some flash drives, if not all come out in the FAT32 format and well only except 4gb. I found out that if you format it in the NTSF file system it well take more than 4gb.

Have you ever tried ex-FAT - on some USB drives that allows more than 4GB.
