Notice also that plain FAT file system have a limited number of files *in the root of the disk*. Don't know if it's always the case for newer brands, but it's enough to copy the files to any other folder than root to go as much as you want
It is a FAT limitation, it does not depend on brand, and not much size: the root directory has always a limited number of entries, relatively few. Subdirectories are basically unlimited, but reading them becomes slower and slower as the number of entries increases (the directory list itself becomes fragmented). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
