Nice write-up. I understand that as owner of this web site you council people on a 'best practice' basis especially when, as you stated, Windows made a concerted effort to steer people away from Fat32 to ntfs.
That being said, and meaning no disrespect, I consider any potential scrambling of data essentially a Windows problem since, again as you wrote, Linux has no problem reading these disks. I also have of course multiple backups of any important archival data
(family trees, etc.
) spread across multiple external devices and internally on several different operating systems.
At the end of the day this is a flash drive that costs less than a pepperoni pizza and a six pack of beer.
In a few years these things
(128Gb
) will be at $5 and hopefully we'll be talking of Terabyte
(s
) drives as 'cheap.'
The picture is of me mounting the drive from WSL - Windows Sub-System for Linux.
