I wouldn't use exFAT because it has a single FAT, which makes repairs more difficult should they be required It's also not a journaled file system, which isn't a major issue if this go-between volume is relatively small or doesn't contain many files (the journal makes repairs go faster is all)
- Why is exFATs default allocation size in Windows so high?
Suppose the exFAT cluster size is 128K, the (fake) block device's sector size is 4K, and you write a 5K file to the exFAT volume The exFAT driver allocates 128K for the file, but (ignoring metadata) it only writes 8K: the two sectors that actually contain file data That's the same amount of data that would have been written if the cluster
