FAT32 disk is much faster but I can't see why
I have a PC with 98SE and two hard disks.
One is FAT16 the other FAT32. I tried a disk diagnostic program yesterday, and it said the FAT32 disk was scoring almost 3 times as many bytes/second as the FAT16! Now I was told there is little difference in performance if you change a disk from FAT16 to FAT32. I looked at disk specifications: both are same RPM, same size cache. The FAT32 disk has seek time 0.5 ms less than the other. So why is is so much faster??????
