pendrive shows 7 gb free space, but i could not copy a 4gb file

<< < (2/2)

Hi, Shane , Thank you very much.Then why latest pendrives have also a default fat32 system, which is having limitation of 4 g. b etc. I also noticed, that when copying the larger files to ntfs formatted drive, the actual file size as shown in the properties are shown in the pen drive . Thank you very much.

Shane:
fat32 is faster. So to make the pen drive look like it is faster than what it really is they will format it in fat32 :wink:

Fat32 is faster because it has no file security and a lot of other features that NTFS does.

Hi, Useful reply. But for the files having more than 4 g. b one has to change the file system to ntfs.
Thank you for your useful tips always
