Fat File System (FAT) is the most common file system used by personal computers and other devices. It is more commonly used on flash memory cards and USB drives. FAT stands for File Allocation Table and is a DOS–style structure where information about each file is stored in a table. The main purpose of FAT is to provide an easy way to access files stored on a disk, but it also provides basic security by allowing files to be marked as read–only, hidden, or system files.
