    Windows won’t even let you format them in fat32 anymore! Which sucks when the device you plan to use it for TECHNICALLY supports exfat, but there’s lots of community posts about how the drivers for exfat regularly corrupt the drive if it tries to read/write too much…

    • Yeah, I use a lot of legacy gear for work. They type of shit that is running Windows 98 embedded. Fat32 will never die as long as legacy support is a thing. If I plug an exFAT drive into one of those machines, it won’t even recognize the drive.

          Yes, it does. It’s usually for OS updates/installation sticks or configuration files for stuff like switches, meeting bars, conference phones, etc… and not for data transfer.
