Usb 64gb Fat32

[Kody Chavva]

TheV3 cameras use 32GB FAT 32 Format, but many owners are using 64GB and some class 10 128GB micros sd cards instead. Does anyone (like tech support) know What happens if a 64GB card is used? will it become corrupted or crash memory in the cameras internal memory while processing and sorting??? There must be a REAL REASON why the cams are only certified for 32GB

Every generation of SD tech is backward compatible, so any device that supports SDXC can support SDHC or Standard SD, but sometimes companies will set their own storage limits in their firmware (only allow 16GB but not 32GB, even though SDHC supports both)

It is SO CLEAR that Wyze and other manufacturers should place a note like this in their Technical Support Forums. It is not only brain candy for techies like me, but would be of GREAT HELP to others in understanding why some cards dont work, which ones to buy, and how to correct problems by reformatting them in FAT32. this would save Wyze a lot of time handling Tech Calls with customers who accidentally bought the wrong class of card, which was reformatted in exFAT.

This is fantastic, thank you for going through the time to detail this explanation. I work in retail at an electronics store and I talk to customers about this topic everyday. I now know what to recommend and how to explain it.

Found this when I tried to put my 64gb Sandisk card in and it locked up the Pan Cam. Figured it was too big or formatted wrong or something. Downloaded the free program, formatted to FAT32 and bingo, it works! Thanks so much for the great write up!!!

Honestly, if you want anything more than 1TB you may as well just convert the cam to RTSP when it is released and have everything recorded on a local hard drive instead. That would be better in nearly every way.

Just to be helpful, I can say that 512G SD Cards that are FULLY formatted for FAT32 (not QUICK Formatted) are working. I also have a 1TB FAT 32 formatted Thumb Drive working in the BASE Station of my ARLO V2 Cameras which records all cams 24-7. I dont know if 1TB works in the Wyze WCO BASE station because it uses a USB C miniport and not a USB-A port. Of course you can also order 1TB SD Cards from Amazon .

Most people here will urge you not to use a card that large anyway, because it can be a temptation to engage in risky behavior. Like putting an entire important photo shoot on a single card or leaving files on a card too long before copying them to a computer.

To be honest, I know next to nothing about the SL1 - only what I read on the Canon site. But I have to confess to a strong bias against Rebels, because they don't have autofocus microadjustment, which I consider almost a necessity with non-L lenses. If you don't share that bias, the SL1 does appear to get good reviews from its purchasers. Its selling point is its small size and light weight. If that's important to you, it could be a deciding factor.

If you're seeing the "Card not formatted, format card with this camera" and then after the instructions you get "Cannot format, change card" it is because the camera is not directly SDXC compatible. I found a solution for my 64 GB SDXC card -

I used a program (or search "Ridgecrop FAT32 GUI") and click on the giant image to download it (weird, but they're British). I scanned it and it was clean & safe, but I won't guarantee anything about it. Windows' built in programs will not let you format as FAT32 - but this will. I believe Mac OS will format as FAT32 just fine but I can't confirm.

It opens right away and then you just tell it to format your SDXC card (make sure it is the correct one! formatting deletes everything on the device). It will format the SDXC card as FAT32. Popping it into the Rebel XS camera just worked and I was able to take pictures and they were saved without fanfare.

If the image doesn't get recorded on the card, it doesn't matter what else you do or what else the camera does. Why, then, would anyone in his right mind risk that outcome by trying to impose an unsupported format on a card? For God's sake, just go buy a card that the camera is designed to use!

Thanks! I have a bunch of 64gb cards laying around. That linked worked great. Now I have a 64gb card installed, took a test picture, works on the PC. Will use it cautiously though. Can't format it with the camera, but I'm good with that.

Method#2 - The cluster size of FAT32 is usually 4KB, you can create a new txt document inside your USB drive, then write a character in it, and then right click the file to check its properties. The size of the occupied space is the size of a cluster.

Note: FAT32 partitions can only support up to 32GB partitions and up to 4GB for a single file. (It's not suitable if you want to save game files and movide files onto the fat32 partition due to this file size limit.)

FAT32 was developed from FAT and FAT16. Its advantages are good stability and compatibility, full compatibility with Win9X and previous versions, and easy maintenance. The disadvantage is poor security.

This following image shows to format a drive near 537GB to file system FAT32 with allocation unit size 64k with free tool IM-Magic Partition Resizer if you right click the drive in the software, the following image will show up for block size selection with fat32.

I just bought a Sandisk 64GB CF card to use in a Nikon D300. Display says card is full. I reformatted the card in my PC, no luck. I formatted the card in my camera, same thing. Card appears to format properly but camera still displays "Full" message. Is the exFat file system incompatible with a D300?

Many users have reported problems with using larger size cards. A good way to solve the problem is generally to format the card in the camera. Or perform a Low-Level format which will reset the card architecture.

So I have been able to get my D300 to "work" with a 128G CF disk by creating a 32G primary partition on the drive and formatting that with fat32. I did try formatting the entire drive in fat32 at 128G and 64G but the camera reads that it is full so camera is only able to read 32G FAT32 max.

Of note however is do not try and format the disk with the camera. It will format the FAT32 partition up to max size, not the allocated size thus erasing the secondary NFTS partition on the disk and making the primary partition too large for the camera to use.

To make a 32G partition use disk management built into windows. Delete any volumes on the drive. Create a new primary partition and make it max 32,768mb which is binary for 32G. Format the drive in FAT32, not NTFS or exFAT. Then on the rest of drive you can create another partition with the rest of the drive and format it however you like

I can confirm Joseph's answer works. I bought a 64gb card for my D300 right before a trip, not realizing that 32gb was the max. In Windows, you may have to logon as admin to get access to Disk Management. On Windows 10/11, right-click Start to find Disk Management. I didn't make a partition; instead, I used right-click on the card and Shrink Volume to drop it down to 32gb. I went a little less at 31.5 GB. Format as FAT32 and good to go!
