FeaturesFAT32 or NTFS on
Build the Ultimate USB Thumb Drive Toolbox

Posted 03/13/2009 at 01:00:36am

I'm interested in a discussion of pros/cons of using FAT32 vs NTFS on my USB thumb drive. In particular, I'm always concerned with catching a virus on my USB key, which does not have a "read only" hardware switch (such switches seem to be very rare these days). It it possible to use NTFS to somehow make a USB thumb drive read only? Any other things to consider when making the FAT32 vs NTFS decision?
