FAT32 vs NTFS on SSD

PiKe · 25 Sep 2008 at 12:39

I've been reading that FAT32 is supposed to be faster than NTFS due to less writes that the file system causes, NTFS has journalling and last time access for every file which must slow down things a little bit? Also that would increase wear rate would it not?

What about a cheap SSD that has slower writes than reads though, would it not be beneficial?

Why would you be worried about wear rate on a drive that has no moving parts?

Because flash memory has limited read/write cycles.

Run a cmd and type in:

fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1
