    [SOLVED] What is the best File System & Allocation unit size for a 128 GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive?

    Its File system is exFAT by default (which I THINK is what's best because it allows for higher allocation unit sizes) and I will be transferring large files on it. It goes from 8192 kilobytes all the way up to 32,768 kilobytes.
