There are more good reasons to use FAT:
- NTFS is optimized for fixed media; FAT was *designed* with removable media in
mind. (Note that a file system is more than the data structures on disk; it
also includes some protocol of how to update them.)
- Flash media internally typically use their own specialized file system anyway,
to perform load balancing and bad block management. FAT is easy enough to
implement a mapping to the flash file system in reasonably simple hardware.
