- 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.
- This format works based on the LZMA principle compression algorithm. It was originally used in 7-Zip archives. tar.7z archives were created for storing info about file owners and for ease of use in Unix systems, based on a TAR archiving tool.
