The Drawback of exFAT filesystem.

I know some people like to use exFAT when they need Mac/Windows cross compatibility. But, just take a look at the capacity difference just moving a folder from a FAT32 formatted drive over to a exFAT.

I realize that this is due to the default cluster size being too large, but most people will never know enough to change it and they'll be losing about 50Gb from a 1Tb disk like this example shows. I'm trying to just copy the data from a 1Tb full drive over to a 1Tb empty drive (customer formatted it) and it doesn't fit. :lol:
