While formatting a flash drive ,most of us don’t pay attention to the setting in the format box and just click Start but the right choice of format system and allocation unit size can make a lot of difference.The two pictures below show the great difference in the transfer rate of the same file on the same computer with default settings and when the same flash drive was formatted according to the needs.
