You purchase a USB Flash Drive from the store and plug-it into your computer. What file system was most likely used to format the drive?

FAT16
FAT32
NTFS
UFS

Explanation

Answer: B - Most USB flash drives are formatted with the FAT32 file system.

Key Takeaway - Since people use USB flash drives on different types of systems (with different operating systems), manufacturers pre-load flash drives with a file system most OSes can recognize. Since NTFS cannot be read by most Apple systems, and most Windows Systems cannot read UFS, neither are good choices. FAT16 is outdates and rarely used these days except, perhaps, on floppy disks.
