Microsoft plans to add support for exFAT to the Linux kernel

Question

Does that mean anything to us who use Readynas

Sandshark · Answer

I made a suggestion about adding EXFAT to the ReadyNAS quite some time ago, and it was pointed out that the licensing was not inexpensive.&nbsp; With Microsoft releasing it freely for Linux, then I would expect ReadyNAS OS to include it, at least as soon as it is updated to a kernel version that has it.

NTFS is read-only if you have a Mac (unless you purchase third-party software).&nbsp;
&nbsp;
ExFAT is read/write - and supports larger drives and files than FAT32.
