File Systems — CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) Practice Questions
File systems define how an operating system organizes, stores, and retrieves data on a storage device, and the A+ Core 2 exam covers the most common ones used in Windows environments. NTFS is standard for internal Windows drives, exFAT is used for flash drives and memory cards where large file support is needed, and FAT32 is an older format with broad compatibility but limited file size support. Technicians must know which file system to choose when formatting a drive for a given use case and understand that some features, such as Windows permissions and BitLocker, require NTFS. The exam also touches on optical media formats and basic Linux file system awareness.
