It also depends somewhat on the games and the rest of your system. I have seen some reviews of NTFS vs FAT32 for gaming and in some cases FAT32 was on top and in some NTFS was on top. If your mimary concern is gaming, then NTFS may faster and most imprortantly more stable.
There is an artificial limit of 32 GB placed on FAT32 by Windows, but not a limit of FAT32 itself. The partition size maximum for FAT32 is 16TB. If you plan on going to dual boot with a 9x version of windows for some games, then FAT32 may better. Anibor said: The size limitations of FAT32 are 4 GB for files, 32 GB for partitions. So you can say I am still afraid of NTFS and it's benefits don't outway the flaws in my mind.Īnyway, the post is about gaming.
I am the big one for having full controll and not loosing data or access to my system for any reason. Such that with some setting, all permissions and passwords can be bypassed, and a secondary setting for strict security. What I woul like to see is some hackable key in the FS. On the other hand I have seen data recoverd from a over 90% damaged FAT32 hard drive not much though. Mostly this comes from a hard drive that whent bad, it was partialy accessable but had problems, and I don't now how NTFS was structured but the entire volume was entierely unrecoverable.
