Well, USB Mass Storage was the default transfer protocol used for Android 1 and 2. With Android 3 (which includes most Tablets) the Android switched to MTP (Media Transport Protocol).

Advantage for MTP is that you don't have to format the card with FAT32 — which gives better overall performance. And build in Memory does not need to be partitioned. Problem with partitions is that one of them tend to fill up first.

I don't need to tell you the disadvantage of MTP. You found that out already.
