Just a note about fat32 and T.B. (terabytes)
Newer version of the FAT file system, based on 32-bit integers.
The file system is able to handle partitions of 2 TB (terabytes) size and uses the
storage capacity more efficiently than FAT16.
Definitions of terabytes
A terabyte is a unit of measurement in computers.
Because of irregularities in definition and usage of the kilobyte, the exact number
of bytes in a terabyte in common practice could be either of the following values:#
1,000,000,000,000 bytes - 1012.
This definition is used in most contexts relating to disk storage, networking, or
other hardware.# 1,099,511,627,776 bytes - 10244 or 240.
This is 1024 times a gigabyte (a binary gigabyte).
