I use a 64GB microSD card in my N900 regularly without problems. I reformatted the card to FAT32 (they are exFAT when sold). That is *currently* the only difference between SDXC and SDHC cards. From what I understand eventually they will be physically different and will not work.

When N900 was released the largest card available to test was a 16GB. However 32GB definately works and as you can see in above 64GB Sandisk has been tested and works if reformatted.

Thanks, now I know it myself too as I took a leap of faith and bought one today.

Probably, bit busy @ the moment & you'll have to give me instructions.
Don't really want to install any additional s/w to what I have now as
current set-up is rock solid... (and I'm a little short of space

)

I see flash storage as the future, alongside cloud storage. Just like I have for many years.

I was a bit bummed that SONY didn't choose to go with microSD for the PS4.
The difference between them is that microSD's can get faster and faster and get larger and larger as technology advances, unlike set-limited disks. And can have a partition that's rewritable so that it can save all your game files/save data.

And it uses less space, less battery, runs faster, runs quieter, runs cooler and adds less weight to the device. Meaning it can be used on the home console, the portable console, a tablet and even a phone. Oh did I mention that its a perfect solution for 3D games, 4K games, and Virtual Reality games?

Most BluRay disks are 20-25GBs, and there's heaps of 32GB microSD... they're even affordable.
And right now we're on 128GB and 256GB, next year we'll hit 512GB, and probably 1TB by 2016.

Is there a way to measure the memory card performance directly through the n900? (random write and read speed etc)

theres currently 128gb for microsdxc and 512gb sdxc, I think it will take longer for the next memory leap because it took so long for microsd card to get from 64gb to 128gb
