DOS FAT32 Versus QNX t79 File Systems  
I am placing a large database onto a 16GB SDHC card.  I would like to use a FAT32 file system so that I can easily 
update it from my PC, but I am worried that I would get a performance hit by doing so.  Does anyone know if random reads
 from a large database would be slower under a FAT32 filesystem than a t79 file system?

I would not expect major differences in performance. But I`d be worry about reliability.
