This time I will share a bit of knowledge about the meaning and difference of FAT and NTFS.Kita often encountered on the hard disk, flash etc. that sometimes formatted FAT or NTFS.Tanpa further ado we just go straight to the point.
Definitions FAT and NTFS
DEFINITIONS FAT
FAT file system or FAT File System is a file system that uses file allocation table structure as a way of operating. For brevity, most people refer to as FAT to FAT file system only. The word itself is FAT stands for File Allocation Table, which translates freely into Indonesian became the File Allocation Table.

KINDS OF FAT:
1.FAT12
1.FAT12
FAT12 is a file system that uses the size of the allocation unit which has a limit of up to 12-bits, so it can only store a maximum of 212 units of allocation alone (4096 pieces). This file system is a native of the FAT file system that was first used in the MS-DOS operating system.Because some of the Windows operating system uses file system allocation unit size is made based on the size of the sector (a multiple of 512 bytes, of the first sectors to 16 sectors), FAT12 has a limitation on its capacity, ie, up to 32 Megabytes.Therefore, generally only used as a FAT12 file system for floppy disk storage media.
2.FAT16
FAT16 is a file system that uses the allocation unit which has a limit of up to 16-bits, so it can store up to 216 units of allocation (65536 pieces).The file system has a capacity limit to the size of 4 Gigabyte alone.Allocation unit sizes used by FAT16 partition depends on the capacity to be formatted: if the partition size is less than 16 megabytes, then Windows will use the FAT12 file system, and if the partition size is larger than 16 megabytes, then Windows will use the FAT16 file system.

3.FAT32
FAT32 is a version of the FAT file system is the most recent, which was introduced when Microsoft released Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2 (Windows 95 OSR2).Because it uses a large file allocation table (32-bit), FAT32 is theoretically capable of up to 232 units put address allocation (4294967296 pieces).However, in its implementation, the number of allocation units that can be addressed by FAT32 is 228 (268 435 456 pieces).The maximum allocation unit size can reach 32768 bytes (64 sectors), so theoretically can address 8 terabytes (8192 gigabytes), though not recommended.In addition, the installation program several family of operating systems Windows NT 5.x upwards only allow the creation of a FAT32 partition up to 32 Gigabyte (if partitions larger than 32 GB, the Windows installation program only provides an NTFS file system).In the installation of the operating system Windows NT 5.x and above, if the size of the partition on which Windows is installed less than 2 Gigabytes, the installer will use the FAT16 file system, and the other way around, if the partition on which Windows is about to be installed more than 2 Gigabyte, the installation program will use the FAT32 file system.

DEFINITIONS NTFS
NTFS or Windows NT File System, a file system that is procured by Microsoft in the Windows NT family of operating systems, which consists of Windows NT 3.x (NT 3.1, NT 3:50, 3:51 NT), Windows NT 4.x (NT 4.0 with all his service packs), Windows NT 5.x (Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003), as well as Windows NT 6.x (Windows Vista).NTFS file system has a simple design but has a greater ability than the FAT file system family. NTFS offers several features needed in a distributed environment, as well as access arrangements (access control) who is entitled to access a file or directory, how much quota each user can use the capacity of the hard disk, encryption features, as well as tolerance to errors (fault tolerance).The standard features of a file system, such as hashing directory, directory caching, use the directory attributes, and of course the file attributes possessed by NTFS.In fact, Microsoft has added great capability into NTFS in order to have high performance, higher than that previously some sort of file system HPFS or FAT, especially on the large size of the volume, but also retains the ease of operation.One advantage of the NTFS file system other than NTFS bersifatextensible is that (can be extended) by adding a new function in the operating system, without having to remodel the overall design (reshuffle possible, but not significantly).

The difference between NTFS FAT
NTFS (new technology file system) in contrast to the FAT (file allocation table). the difference lies in the stability and handling of the hard drive. There are many ranging from FAT FAT, FAT 2, 4 FAT, FAT 16, FAT 32 points behind FAT only describe how bit memory can be allocated. FAT file bedasarkan table set allocasi existing memory tends error if there is damage then the sparse data can be saved, but there are some programs that use the FAT so it must be installed on FAT-type hard disk. NTFS has a more moderate stability, rapid data retrieval because quotions supports native command, which will prioritize the fastest path when metranfer data.if damage occurs NTFS supports HD smart so it is easy to be returned (90% success rate). For windows xp if there is no program that requires FAT should choose NTFS, was to save the data in another partition.

Conclusion :
- If you choose FAT, then our data can rarely be saved
- While NTFS, faster in transferring data
