1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,000
you probably know someone that's always misplacing stuff I do personally whether

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,120
they can't find their keys in the morning they leave their clothes everywhere like my sweaters they don't

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,599
even know where that stack of $100 bills is that they want to the casino okay

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:20,000
honestly I've never done that but anyways could you imagine if your computer was that forgetful and never

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:26,400
remembered where you put stuff like save games important papers or tax documents

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:28,880
or your operating system fortunately all

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,719
computers use some kind of file system so it can keep track of of where all

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,960
your stuff is just like how you might use a closet space or cabinets at home

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:42,000
to keep your collection of random clothes and kitchen items from being a

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,920
complete mess so how do they do that well there are many different types of

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:50,760
systems out there but what they all have in common is that they divide up your

12
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,760
hard drive SSD or flash drive into small

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:56,120
units that store data and have some kind

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,359
of way of remembering what data is in each unit so it can go and find it later

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,439
on to better understand how this works and to figure out what system to use for

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:09,320
your own stuff let's have a look at some common file system starting off with

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:13,400
file allocation table or fat and although its name is incredibly

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,759
unflattering fat was used by the vast majority of Home Windows-based PCS until

19
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:23,600
XP came out fat worked by splitting the disc into a bunch of clusters giving

20
00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:29,960
each cluster a unique ID number then using a table to track what part of what

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,000
was stored in each cluster all right right pretty straightforward and simple

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:38,360
no big deal there but as hard drives became larger and larger fat ran into

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:42,759
some problems namely it resulted in a lot of wasted space because it often

24
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:47,600
couldn't fill clusters completely a problem called slack and could only

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:51,759
support drives that were kind of smaller due to the way that fat stored

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:56,799
information about file locations fat 32 which came to prominence with Windows 98

27
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:02,079
was an improvement but still couldn't deal with partitions larger than 2 tabt

28
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:07,159
which isn't that big these days to overcome these limitations every version

29
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:08,879
of Windows since XP and NT 3.1 on the

30
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:15,720
business side of things has used the only slightly less awkwardly named new

31
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:17,560
technology file system or NTFS NTFS uses

32
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,920
Some Space Management tricks to make it use space much more efficiently than fat

33
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:28,440
resulting in better Real World capacity in many cases and can support massive

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:33,480
partitions of hundreds of terabytes as well as huge individual 's file sizes

35
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:37,920
important in the age of 4K videos that can span multiple hours making them

36
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:42,319
massive it also has features to help prevent data loss in the event of a

37
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,760
crash native file compression and security features including native file

38
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:52,280
encryption support to keep out unauthorized users these features have

39
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:56,959
made NTFS an almost Universal choice for Windows-based PCs these days but just

40
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:02,400
like it's hard to get rid of those last 10 lbs of fat at the gym fat the file

41
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:06,959
system hasn't completely gone away fat 32 is still commonly used on USB flash

42
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,400
drives to maintain compatibility with older versions of Windows as well as

43
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:15,920
operating systems such as Linux and speaking of flash drives there's a new

44
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:21,120
version of fat called X fat which is surprisingly not the name of a line of

45
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,640
diet supplements X fat was designed specifically with high-capacity flash

46
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:30,760
drives and memory cards in mind and support much larger capacities and file

47
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:35,599
sizes than older versions of fat while not including features of NTFS that

48
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:40,360
flash drives don't really need in order to keep things running quickly X fat

49
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,319
isn't always compatible with some quite a bit older versions of Windows though

50
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:49,000
so keep that in mind when choosing what you're going to use for your flash drive

51
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:54,079
if you for some reason are still using like unpatched versions of XP the good

52
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,439
thing though is that it's pretty easy to switch file systems on your flash drive

53
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,079
by just doing a quick reformat after you've saved your file somewhere else of

54
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,319
of course I don't want to be responsible for that but no matter what you choose

55
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:09,599
you can bet that your drives will keep track of your data better than your

56
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:14,040
roommate who is always asking you where the TV remote is are you ready for a lus

57
