hi,
I have an application(vc) with a very high demanding hard access both from
speed and space view.
My question is :
Is NTFS slower in hard access than FAT32, specially with large partitions ?

Thanks a lot,
Behzad
 
For an existing file, NTFS is definitely faster on large files (and doesn't
have file size limit, unlike FAT32).

NTFS doesn't need to walk a cluster chain for random access, while FAT32
needs to.
