Hacking Couple of questions on ExFat vs Fat32 (external HDD)

[noreason4]

Hey all,

I currently use a 200 GB SanDisk as Fat32 and wonder wether an external HDD could be formatted as exFat while the main SD Card that contains the EmuNAND uses Fat32. This way I could store NSPs on the external HDD without splitting them first and install them via SXInstaller etc.

Does exFAT only corrupt on SD Cards or are there known cases where external USB HDDs were affected?

Thanks!

You'll be fine using exfat on an external hdd.

A HDD handles data better than an sd card.

Are you using SX OS, and talking about the USB support? I'm not sure what the format requirements are but I would assume that since the exfat issue with sd cards is caused by Nintendo's crappy exFAT implementation that you would be fine.

The corruption has nothing to do with the medium of storage, the corruption is caused by Nintendo's exFAT implementation and not dealing with file handles correctly causing FAT table corruption and damage to any open files
