The Multimedia card (MMC) and Secure Digital (SD) card associations classify the Extend File Allocation Table (ExFAT) as the standard file system for storage flash cards of more than 32 giga bytes (GB) of size. This paper attempts to explore the cluster allocation strategies of ExFAT file system in comparison with conventional FAT32 file system. The performance improvements by cluster allocation strategies of ExFAT file system are discussed. The adaptation techniques of cluster allocation strategies of ExFAT file system to the FAT32 file system are also discussed.
