- 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.
- The SWM file format, or Split Windows Imaging Format File, is a type of disk image file used by Microsoft Windows for system deployment, backup, and recovery purposes. It is essentially a variation of the WIM (Windows Imaging Format) file, but with a key difference: it is split into multiple smaller files, rather than being a single large file. This splitting feature makes SWM files particularly useful for distributing a large system image across multiple storage media, such as DVDs or USB drives.
