Default exFAT Driver available for download from Microsoft

exFAT the successor of FAT32 can be incorporated on your PC too by direct downloading the driver from Microsoft. It was designed keeping in tune with the growing mobile storage space. It is already available with Windows Vista in the form of SP1. The 4 GB file limitation of FAT32 is largely eliminated by this file format and it can support HDD upto 512 TB. An advantage over the current NTFS file format is the lower disk space overhead being employed.

The driver can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/i...04-x86-ENU.exe
