Where FAT32 is concerned most of my flash cards are formatted in camera
(FAT32) and files there are about 32 MB. No need for anything larger.

Consider a HD movie that might be 6 to 8 gigs. Sometimes easier way to
transfer it is via USB.


Consider that I have USB keys formatted for Mac, not Windows. As was
stated in the prior post (the part you snipped out).


The trouble with an HFS UBS stick is that it *only* works on Macs. I
only use those for bootable stick for installing OS X.


I use such for all manner of things that I have no reasonably need to
make available on a windows machine. This includes backups of some
files that I drag between home / work.
