SDXC

Secure Digital eXtended Capacity logo; the specification defines cards with a capacity of more than 32 GB up to 2 TB

The Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) format, announced in January 2009 and defined in version 3.01 of the SD specification, supports cards up to 2 TB,[60] compared to a limit of 32 GB[61] for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification. SDXC adopts Microsoft's exFAT file system as a mandatory feature.[62]

The issue is - I would like to know what is the maximum gigabyte capacity for this slot.

In the past with other items that I’ve had there has been a limit to the maximum GB size that can be used in a particular device. I’m wondering if that is true here?

Thank you for your time and help.
