FAT32 is the 32 bit version of FAT. It support smaller cluster size and larger volumes [upto 2 TB] than FAT.
NTFS is an advanced file system that provides performance, security and reliabilty.
These features are not found in any versions of FAT. In NTFS 5.0 one single partition can support 32 EB [1024 TB=1EB]

Difference between ntfs and fat32
NTFS and FAT32 are two common file systems used in Windows operating systems. NTFS supports larger file and volume sizes, encryption, compression, permissions and auditing while FAT32 only supports smaller file and volume sizes without additional features. NTFS is recommended for modern Windows systems while FAT32 is limited to older systems with size and feature restrictions.

This is a technique in which we can concatenate more than one disk together in a number of ways that can give us many types of storage options. We can also decide which type of storage feature is desired by choosing between the raid level. There are many Types of Raid levels 1)Linear Raid-Disks are appended linearly. If the space in the first disk get over than the data is written in the second disk 2)Raid 0(Striping)-In this type of raid the a file to be stored is broken down into chunks and each chunk is Placed over independent disk. This type of raids provides parallelism. i.e. Fast Read and write operations are performed. But the availabilty of each file is dependent on all the disk.

John Wiggins Answered On : Oct 20th, 2011 RAID stands for REDUNDANT ARRAY of INDEPENDENT DRIVES. Under the raid system a group of hard drives are addressed as one storage unit. The data is redundantly (backup copies) stored in such a way that it is possible to recover all of the data even with the total failure of as many as two of the drives in the RAID. RAIDs are used where extremely large amounts of storage capacity and high reliability is required. Today most pre-recorded television programs are recorded and played back from RAID file servers.
