It's no secret that SSDs suffer from performance penalties when it comes to small random writes. Even though more modern SSD try to solve some of these issues hardware-wise, software can also play a major role. Instead of resorting to things like delaying all writes until shutdown and storing them in RAM, SanDisk claims it has a better option. At WinHEC yesterday, the company introduced its Extreme FFS, which it claims will improve write performance on SSDs by a factor of 100.

either users have to install a driver everywhere they go, or these devices pretends to be fat formated.
as this is not developed my microsoft, it will not be natively supported by microsoft (see things like rw optical media formated to act as "floppies", no native support by the big gorilla of the market).
like it or not, fat has become the lingua franka of removable storage media. but as its showing its age (even the fat32 version is closing on retirement in computing lifetime), microsoft have rolled out exfat in a hope to corner the market. and they probably will, sadly...
