Hardware, Embedded Systems 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.

I dont know the exact limit of fat32. (ive only used a 400gb disk with fat so far) But ther filesize limit of 4gb is a showstopper non the less, so they need something new and as NTFS isnt as free as fat is so i guess its up to the hardware guys to make something new, probably with a fat32 comp-layer or so. Im sure those guys just make it wirk, just like they have come through for us before.
