Universally recognized FAT® driver for embedded devices and removable storage, including USB drives and SD™ memory cards up to 32 GB
Microsoft FAT by Tuxera
Product overview
Microsoft FAT by Tuxera is a commercial-grade FAT12/16/32 file system that ensures your data is accessible across all operating systems. Optimized for embedded systems, it uses minimal RAM, making it perfect for devices with limited resources. With built-in protection against data loss during power interruptions, your data remains safe—now and in the future.
Our implementation guarantees perfect interoperability with a wide variety of operating systems like Windows, Linux, Android, and macOS. Freely exchange files between platforms without conversion or reformatting issues.
Our patented technology keeps your data safe during power failures. Your system always recovers without corruption, maintaining complete volume integrity and file accessibility even after sudden disconnections.
Specifically designed for embedded systems, our implementation uses remarkably little RAM—as low as 0.7KB. Your resource-constrained devices get powerful file system performance without sacrificing memory.
Tuxera Persistence Manager™ lets you control exactly when and how data is committed to storage. It reduces latency and and establishes max throughput. Configure the manager based on time intervals or file size to optimize power consumption and hardware costs. This works perfectly for dashcams and other recording devices that need reliable, fail-safe performance.
