FAT32

FAT32 is a File Allocation Table filesystem variant using 32-bit table entries with fewer bits available for cluster numbers. A directory entry stores file size in a 32-bit unsigned field, limiting one ordinary file to $2^{32}-1$ bytes. This limit is distinct from a volume's capacity, which also depends on sector and cluster layout and implementation restrictions. FAT32 is widely interoperable but lacks native per-file security ACLs and metadata journaling of the kind provided by NTFS. Filesystem limits should be distinguished from a formatting tool's additional limits.^[ref]
