Explanation
FAT32 is the most widely used and universally compatible file system format for flash drives. It is supported natively by Windows, macOS, Linux, gaming consoles, car stereos, TVs, and virtually all USB-reading devices - making it the standard choice for flash drives intended for broad compatibility. FAT (FAT16) is limited to volumes up to 2GB, making it unsuitable for a 64GB drive. ExFAT improves on FAT32 by removing the 4GB per-file size limit but has slightly less universal device support. CDFS (Compact Disc File System) is used for optical media, not flash drives.
