You can take an existing disk and reformat it as exFAT right from OSX. You can plug in an external exFAT USB drive and read and write to it on your Mac. ExFAT is the file system I recommend for external USB disks.įortunately for Mac users, Apple has an agreement with Microsoft and so OS X supports exFAT drives (as of Snow Leopard). ExFAT is still a Microsoft product, meaning companies (hardware companies, like memory card manufacturers, who want to use exFAT on their disks/drives) need to pay a licensing fee to Microsoft. ExFAT is an updated version of FAT (Microsoft DOS's original File Allocation Table) meant for use across platforms (not only PCs) and on external drives.
