The Art department needs a computer that will easily store large media files and be able to transfer files back and forth between portable media devices including flash drives. The ability to format USB devices to accept large files is also critical. The file system format you need to select must store large files but also easily manage interoperability with portable devices. Which file system format should you choose?
  1. FAT16
  2. NTFS
  3. exFAT
  4. FAT32
Explanation
Answer: C - exFAT, also known as FAT64, is a new file system available in Windows Vista and Windows 7 that allows files larger than 4 GB to be stored and enables seamless interoperability between PCs and portable media devices.

Key Takeaway: exFAT is a successor to FAT32 and is not meant to replace NTFS but rather to provide formatting for USB devices to accept larger files.
