People can debate all they want about the pros and cons of certain file formats. Also, certain other file formats and their functions require more system overhead, which isn’t a good match for any device that has limited processing power.Īnyway. Plus, certain other file formatting schemes will have many redundant functions when it comes to simple media acquisition. I believe the main reason for the use of ExFAT on cameras and many different types of consumer devices, is because of its more favourable licensing fee. It was just part of a long line of progression for file formats that MS have used that’s generally coincided with their progression of operating systems and specific needs for those OSs. It’s probably also worth mentioning that ExFAT wasn’t created specifically for “consumer point-n-shoot cameras” as has been mentioned. Although, my use of APFS is more recent and mostly for solid state storage as far as media drive use is concerned and if I’m not wrong, I believe Apple use APFS for the system drive on Macs using the latest versions of MacOS. I’ve also not had any issues with APFS formatted drives as far as corruption is concerned either. I have a number of mechanical drives that I’ve used for very long term storage and archive that use the ExFAT format and I’ve never had an issue with any of them. Which I’m sure is something that’s pretty much universal for most people and their media drives. To that end, things like corruption and/or security are essentially defunct concerns as far the file format used is concerned. Mine are used to record and/or transfer video files or for editing directly from and are in constant use being regularly cleared or formatted. Media drives, at least for my use, aren’t drives that keep data on them for a long time. The point you made about “transient use” is a good one. But since it is only used for one thing Resolve I have never gone past half full on it so will likely not bother now. Something like Dave's solution was on my mind to add storage to the Studio Max 1T. If I was adding storage ( internal or external ) to either PC or Mac I would use the native formatting of the OS drive. My Ninja recordings get transferred to PC and SSD formatted for next time. Recording can be used by almost any operating system immediately. MS had no control over its penetration in post production and pro production world.Īlso Atomos Ninja format SSD's exFat for obvious reasons. It allowed file sizes to be bigger than 2GB file limit of FAT32. Which is why ExFAT is an excellent choice and it also doesn’t have the file size limitations that other potential “universal” formats have.ĮxFAT was created for consumer point-n-shoot cameras. Any other alternative formats will include paid software at some point for full read/write and that’s still not guaranteed across multiple operating systems and platforms. It’s about as universal as it gets if you’re bouncing between different operating systems and sharing media etc. Although, as I’ve now almost completely migrated to Mac and Resolve for my NLE workflow and am very unlikely to return to Windows, even for Resolve, APFS is perfect for my media drives.Īs for ExFAT. I use ExFAT as well when moving between Windows and MacOS and also for certain formats for camera and capture devices. Backup is on my Windows system as for me the Studio Max is only for Resolve everything else is PC. This is not long term storage just for edit then they are gone.
