NTFS (New Technology File System) and FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32) are two different file systems used by Windows operating systems for organizing and managing data on storage devices.
NTFS is the more advanced, offering better security features such as file encryption and access control permissions. It also supports larger file sizes (up to 16 TB) and larger volumes (up to 256 TB), making it suitable for modern high-capacity drives. Additionally, NTFS has improved reliability due to its journaling feature, which helps recover data in case of system crashes or power failures.
FAT32 is an older file system that lacks many of the advanced features found in NTFS. Its maximum file size is limited to 4 GB, and volume size is capped at 8 TB. While it doesn’t offer the same level of security and performance as NTFS, FAT32 has broader compatibility with various operating systems and devices, including older versions of Windows, macOS, Linux, and even some gaming consoles.
