    This probably won’t have much impact for most use cases, though.

    Yeah, I’m assuming it only affects operations on exFAT systems.

      Not only that, but the effects are really only going to be noticeable on very large partitions/devices, like terabyte+ size. The typical thumb drive scenario will see no recognizable improvement in load speed. It’s still a nice improvement, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not a change that translates to any real-world improvement for most user cases.

        I had once considered using exFAT for my external HDD, back when I was dual-booting.
        This might have made a difference, had I gone ahead with that.
