- Description
- FAT (File Allocation Table) is a robust and simple file system that is used by the OS to manage files (i.e., reliability, performance, and scalability) on computer systems and hard drives. It is compatible with almost all computers, digital cameras, flash drives, mobile phones, and other portable devices; hence, it's common to use.
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
