Maximum SD Size

[NYC Coyote]

I'm sure this has been asked before.. but if you are running 2.3 or higher.. what is the maximum SD card the phone can take?

I believe a 64 GB card has been reported to work. As my largest is a 16 GB SD card, I can't confirm for sure.

In the original manual I have for the phone says that 32 Gb is the maximum. At the store when I bought it told me to use 16 (as I am) to avoid having a slow phone.

i have a 32 gb card. the issue is that I think Fat32 can only support up to 32 GB.

can you have an ext2 formatted SD card working in the Dinc?

I just tried putting in an 8gb SD that I had reformatted to ext2, the phone doesn't want to mount it. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this or not. I've been able to use the Easeus Partition Master to reformat a 500gb hard drive in fat32, so that will probably be able to format a 64gb card in a fat32 partition so it can work in a phone. Won't know for sure until someone with a 64gb card can try it though.

It appears your ext2 question is answered below but as for the size limit of FAT32, it's much larger than 32 GB. The largest a file on FAT32 can grow is 4 GB though.

It looks like FAT32 can run 2TB drives so there's no problem there.
