Tbf I've never had to save a >4gb file. Unless you've got huge zip archives or a huge video file fat would be fine right?
LostLocust
even if you don't care about file size limits, the dos filesystem is lacking many other features of modern FSs.
SidneyHarbor
One of the other major FAT problems was that the bigger the hard drive was, the larger the minimum allocation size. So 1k file takes 32kb.
I could see being annoyed by that
Yeah, especially since back then programs were kinda dumb and you could have some program with 20,000 512 byte files taking many KB each.

I had to RAM up my memory to understand this one.

Just FAT32
actually that's fat32. fat16's limit was 2 gbytes.

FAT is the old file storage system used by conputers. It couldn't handles files over 4 gigabytes.
ImnotAllowedtoPostPublicly
Thank you kind Sir.
Still widely used on USB memory sticks I think.
awesomazing
That is FAT32, FAT was max size of 4GB with files no larger than 2GB

As a college CS student, I have never heard of this in my life. Now I'm going to find a way to use this to confuse my professors.

Ask em why Linux insists on calling ATA drives SCSI.

If it works, then change schools.

I mean a college CS student doesn't really need to learn all the bits of history but it really helps if your actually passionate to learn
about everything computer from the 1800s onwards

There are still tons of Win9x and WinXP machines used in business. It's amazing there isn't a class just for covering their limitations.
Not to mention that FAT32 formatted flash memory is still commonly used in embedded & mobile devices.

Pretty sure any CS professor will know what the File Allocation Table is
