Ok, but I think that exfat is better than ntfs, on cards and sticks at least. It is optimized for that use. Unless you need the stick/card to use on some old machine that doesn't understand that filesystem, like an ancient TV set.
How is EXT4 on those devices? That's what most of my storage is configured for.
I don't know. I use it with the journal disabled. However: many sticks are actually optimized for FAT. They use smaller write blocks on that area, optimizing it for frequent writes. I don't have a cite for this, I read it on some report. Remember that they normally use a "write block" (I don't know the actual name) that is not 512 or 4 KiB as the filesystem uses, but some value that I think is 16 KiB, not sure. meaning that when you write a 512 byte block, actually the entire 8 K section is written. But the FAT area has a smaller block, unknown size. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
