Hi,

ALFAT chip does save both FAT tables (if media is formatted with 2 
tables) so if one got corrupted the second will be fine. I can't see 
how FAT can be a problem! If you lose power on ANY file system you 
will lose data. Simply close all open file handles and no data would 
be lost.

Thanks,

Gus
