Why choose Microsoft FAT by Tuxera
Optimized for any environment
Tuxera's FAT file system implementation runs seamlessly on a wide variety of operating systems like Linux and Android, real-time operating systems, and even on embedded devices without an RTOS. The file system is designed with portability in mind – it runs in embedded microcontrollers with limited system resources with as low as 0.7 KB of RAM.
File system integrity and fail-safety
Ensure metadata integrity and volume consistency when storage is removed, in the event of unexpected reset or power loss, and when power or battery is disconnected. Microsoft FAT by Tuxera features patented fail safety technology to ensure no data is lost or corrupted.
Versatile FAT storage compatibility
Our full-featured implementation supports FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 variants. Tuxera's FAT file system works seamlessly with other FAT drivers, including all Microsoft FAT versions, Linux VFAT (including Android VFAT), Mac OS X, and macOS FAT file systems.
Improved flash memory endurance
Microsoft FAT by Tuxera is intelligently designed to reduce fragmentation and write and erase wear. This ensures the longest flash memory lifetime for storage devices built on eMMC and eSD technology. Prolong the longevity of your drives with our robust FAT implementation.
