FAT32 was the popular file system used by Microsoft Windows operating system until Windows XP came along. During the days of Windows 95/98, all the hard drives were FAT32 formatted. There was NTFS available but not for Windows 9X users. NTFS was available only for the Windows NT and Windows 2000 users. Starting with Windows XP, Microsoft made NTFS available for everyone – even for the home users as it provides many more benefits over the older FAT32 file system such as security and support for larger partitions.
However, there are times when we need a drive to have FAT32 file system for a number of reasons. For example, smaller drives like a pen drive having 8GB capacity give you better data transfer rates (when you copy files on them or from them) if they have FAT32 file system instead of the newer NTFS. This is because FAT32 does not provide security and user access features. File attributes are also limited on a FAT32 system.
