It might be time for me to reformat my 400gb to FAT32 and get away from exFAT. The only problem is, I'm using emuNAND on it. *gulp* What is the easiest way to reformat to FAT32 and keep using emuNAND?
By default, installed games (NSP or otherwise) on switch are split in system this happens on both exfat and fat32. (Installed NSP through USB of course)

Samsung 256GB user here. I formatted using a tool separate from Windows' Built in formatting tool: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm No issues what so ever. Just make sure when you backup your data, that you do not back up what is already corrupt. Because it will be restored in a corrupt state to begin with.

If you are using homebrew that accesses the SD card you WILL get corruption eventually on exFAT.

I think you mean no reason to go to exFAT.

FAT32 has nothing to do with installs.
And yes, there IS a reason to go FAT32.
In fact, FAT32 is always the recommended format for the SD card, since Nintendo's exFAT driver is buggy and can corrupt your SD. more so if you're using it for homebrew.
Never use exFAT, always use FAT32 to avoid SD corruption.
I use exfat with emummc as files. Very quick, compared to fat32 and emummc as files. I only have crashes once in a while when using certain homebrew apps, but never during gameplay.
Fat32 with emummc as files was excruciatingly slow, and almost unusable

I still don't see an answer to this, what is the internal storage on the switch formatted as? Fat32 or Exfat?
I'll throw in my two cents. I use FAT32 as corruption is ALMOST not existent. I have had issues with corruption a few times with FAT32, but I also do a lot of system level modding and hacking... Not your typical user end stuff. The ONLY two times I have ever had corruption with FAT32 is when my SD card started shitting the bed (avoid PNY people; use Samsung or San Disk) and when Skyrim locked up during a loading screen due to too high of a overclock and it corrupted the SEPT folder.
Other than those two times never an issue.

Or, I also heard that if you use flash memory, it can act as more "RAM" at least windows tell me when I stick a flash drive into it. -
