Consequences of formatting a 16 gb sandisk cruzer flashdrive from fat32 to ntfs?
I can’t transfer a 5.23 gb file onto my flashdrive (16 gb sandisk cruzer) because it is formatted to fat32 (it came that way). I heard that if you format it to ntfs, you can transfer files that large.
What are the different consequences of formatting to ntfs? I heard that it will last for a short amount of time- how short will the life expectancy of the flash drive be if I format it to ntfs? Assuming that I backup a bunch of files at least once a week. I also heard that you have to always safely eject the drive or else it will be corrupted- is this even if no files are being transferred? Does formatting delete everything on the flashdrive (and does this cause any problems)? Anything else? Overall, is it a good or bad idea? Thanks. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
