difference between exfat and mac os extended

The Mac OS X has only read-only support for NTFS, but offers full read/write support for exFAT.

exFAT is compatible with more devices than NTFS, making it the system to use when copying/sharing large files between OSes.

exFAT’s maximum file size limit is 16EiB (Exbibyte). FAT 32 has a 4GB maximum file size and 8TB maximum partition size, whereas you can store files that are larger than 4GB each on a flash drive or SD card formatted with exFAT. exFAT supports greater file size and partition size limits than FAT 32.exFAT is a lightweight file system like FAT 32 (“lightweight” because it lacks NTFS’s extra features and their associated overheads).For those who do not have a Microsoft license for exFAT, HCC can provide a Microsoft-approved license for exFAT and supply its exFAT software implementation.For those who already have a Microsoft license for exFAT, HCC can supply its exFAT software implementation.HCC Embedded is a licensed supplier of exFAT implementations and can provide a full technology and patent license solution for incorporation into customers’ devices.
