Here's the link to the article I have read about exfat. Just want to make clear that exfat worked better for this specific flash drive, I have a couple of sandisk 32gb usb3 flash drives that works very fast with ext2 and fat32 file systems, I'm still trying to find out why exfat worked better for the Kingston flash drive than the other file systems I have tried on it, I hope this helps to clarify any doubts you might have, cheers! Samsung donated the exFAT driver to the Linux kernel. If I remember correctly the Linux 5.7+ kernel has a more stable exFAT driver. The macOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems support exFAT. The usb flash drive is a Kingston 32gb usb3 I have bought recently, with the default fat32 filesystem that came from factory, read/write speeds fluctuated between 500K to 6mb per second when transfering different data files and sizes, next I tried formatting with ext2, jfs, fat16, ntfs and got the same result as before, then I read on internet that exfat is a file system optimized for flash drives and tried that, the read/write speeds fluctuated from 7.5mb to 32mb per second, so as you can see it was a considerable increase in speeds with exfat. exFAT (Extensible File Allocation Table) is a file system optimized for flash memory such as USB flash drives and SD cards.
