    ExFAT Checksums Question


    Hi,According to the ExFAT filesystem specification https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/exfat-specification, ExFAT stores checksums of all files and directories in the filesystem. Is there any way to validate that for a given ExFAT filesystem, the stored ExFAT checksums for all files are correct? The point of this would be to determine if any data corruption has taken place.Thank you,James Pedersen

    :)

    Formating to exFAT

    Hi Taylor,

    If you want to format an external hard drive or USB flash drive in exFAT, you can follow these steps:



    • Press and hold Windows key + x on your keyboard. This open the context menu.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type format g: /FS:exFAT and then Enter to begin formatting the G drive as exFAT
    For any query, feel free to reach us.

    If anyone hasn't heard of exFat, take a look at this. exFAT - Wikipedia

    Just swapped to exFat on all my portable drives. I got really frustrated with 4Gb file limitations on my portable drives, as well as limited partition sizes. And i don't use Linux or any other OS to much (Tho i should probably have a Linux box built just for formatting drives). And now that there's a patch for XP as well to support compatibility, i believe its worth it.

    ExFAT Checksums Question

    exFat

    All though my 1st thought was ExFat and how to get rid of that ex gf LMAO.

    I knew it mean extended and since XP i've only used fat32 once with it witch was a total fail. There is programs that allow you to see Linux from XP visa versa.

    NTFS has always worked best for me.
