Aj keď FAT32 naadresuje 2TB a limit súboru je 4GB, Microsoft si zjavne robí veci po svojom.
----------
Plummer says that the 32GB Windows format limit on FAT32 hasn’t been changed by anyone because "I said so." Although it was his personal decision at the time, he still believes he did the right thing. When testing the maximum file limit to apply on FAT32, Plummer argues that the largest memory card at his disposal was 16MB.
He, therefore, used this capacity when testing the FAT32 file system that he had created as an engineer at Microsoft. He multiplied the 16MB capacity by a thousand and then doubled it to obtain the maximum file size that could forever work for any device running on NT 4.0. He, therefore, picked 32GB as the limit.
Plummer also asserts that he based his decision on the theory that 16TB is currently the maximum volume size for a file system. If other developers changed this value, it could drastically override the presets, including FAT32. Developers had to stick with the decision made by Plummer (of limiting 32GB format to FAT32) to avoid any conflicts with the file system already in existence.
This is, therefore, the real reason for the 32GB Windows format limit on FAT 32 to date.
