File System Identification entails identifying and classifying the file system type and arrangement
on a storage device. This process facilitates efficient and secure data access by recognizing the
specific file system format, such as FAT, NTFS, exFAT, HFS, among others. It involves understanding
the structure, metadata, and organization of files and directories on the storage medium. File
System Identification is vital for tasks like data recovery, forensics, and overall data management,
ensuring software and users can interact with storage devices effectively and compatibly.
