FAT32 CRC implementation

[Samu]

Good morning,

I would like to know if FAT32 file system has any CRC mechanism and
its characteristics if so. Or if that cyclic redundancy check is
implemented at a hardware level on common (IDE, SATA) hard disks.

Thank you very much!

This is probably a good candidate for a selective google or Bing search.
Try using FAT32 and CRC in the search (or that and IDE or SATA)

There is no such CRC redundancy within the FAT32 specification

In hard drives there is typically some form of redundancy at the hardware level, but this is separate from the file system
