FAT32 formatting of USB drives over 32Gig

Greetings, everyone! I searched the forum for a similar-looking discussion, but could not locate one, so I am creating a post.

My trusty 32Gig SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash thumb drives have served me dutifully for a long time. I prep my DJ sets in RekordBox and use the thumb drives at the gig. I want to replace them but the FAT32 formatting becomes the issue:

  • FAT32 formatting is required but, by default, only works on drives up to 32Gig max.
  • Most DJ thumb drives are well over that capacity nowadays.

Question: How do DJs get around this and still format their higher-capacity thumb drives in FAT32 to retain readability of the thumb drive?
