Format Flashdisk with the NTFS file system

Some of us may be less attention to the file system type used Flashdisk us, whether it is NTFS, FAT32 or FAT. To find out the file system is used, right-click Flashdisk in Windows Explorer and select Properties. Here it is seen that type of File System is used.

But when we try to mem-format through windows Explorer, there may not have the NTFS, the FAT and FAT32 only. How do I mem-NTFS format and what is the difference with the FAT and FAT32?

Why NTFS?
NTFS format is a file system after the latest Windows FAT32, and have several advantages such as the ability to store additional information about the file / folder (metadata), security features, data compression, a better structure and more.
In addition, the type of NTFS can be used to format mem-size is greater, for only 2 GB FAT, FAT32 8 TB (8,000 GB), while NTFS can be up to 16 EB (16 million TB). Nevertheless, there remain only NTFS kekurangannya, such as not legible in the Win9x and the read write to disk more often.
Because each file / folder store more information (metadata), then read the writing process each file / folder will be more common than type FAT32 or FAT, so that for the flash, affect age (resistance). Given the memory limitations Flashdisk have read the writing. (Article about keeping to be more durable flash can be read here: Characteristics and Tips Flashdisk maintain more durable)

Enabling NTFS format in Windows Explorer
We can only mem-format USB Flashdisk with type NTFS with the help of HP USB Format Tools. But the actual Windows Explorer can do. To activate the following steps can be followed
1. Open System Properties with the right click My Computer> Properties (or a keyboard with buttons Win + Break)
2. Open the Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager
3. Select Disk Drive and select Flashdisk in which you want to format with NTFS, right click, select Properties.
4. Once open select the Policies tab
5. Select Optimize for performance, and click OK

6. Then try right-click the flash drive in Windows Explorer and select the Format menu, then there should appear NTFS File System.

To note when this option is enabled, each flash should always pull out through the Safety Remove Hardware. If the option is "Optimize for quick removal" is actually the flash can be removed immediately, without the Safety Remove Hardware

Test between NTFS, FAT32 and FAT

I have tried some of the comparison (especially the process to copy data) type with different, and the results are as follows:

11 * Copy the file (the size of each around 170 MB) total about 1.8 GB
NTFS 04:44 (4 minutes 46 seconds)
FAT32 05:09 (5 minutes 9 seconds)
FAT 04:46 (4 minutes 46 seconds)
1297 * Copy files (size between 1 KB to 23 KB) with a total of 8.23 MB
NTFS 29 seconds
FAT32 56 seconds
FAT 58 seconds
* Capacity in the format
NTFS 2,038,044,672 bytes Used space 12,937,216 bytes (12.3 MB)
FAT32 2,046,959,616 bytes Used space 4096 bytes (4.00 KB)
FAT 2,050,686,976 bytes Used Space 0 bytes

Copy the visible data with NTFS, relatively quickly, but after the size of the format a little smaller because of the additional space required is greater for the file / folder (metadata). If the flash is often used to read and write process does not require the NTFS features, such as data security, then select the type FAT32 may be better.

Insyaallah next article will discuss about the type utilizing NTFS Flahsdisk to protect from the virus will create, delete or modify the program with a simple Autorun.inf I create "Super Autorun".
