Hacking SD cards, max size? SDHC or SDXC?

[Deleted-390210]

I am going to buy a larger SD card for my Wii.
Is there a max size? Does the class matter? Do both SDHC and SDXC cards work?

I am thinking of this 64Gb, Class 10, SDXC card from Kingston:

or even this 128gb, also Kingston

It works, i have the same one.

U have to use a program to format it though

256gb for sure,all class ...UHS-i.

yes for better compatibility buy card formats SDXC flash card and original no noname.

no problem for this card^^

Since there doesn't appear to be a hard coded limit, I would guess the actual limit would be 2TB but the only way to know for sure would be to either reverse engineer the firmware or to build a sata hdd to sd adapter which currently don't exist.

Since the Wii U is capable of reading SD/SDHC/SDXC, I would assume the limit is as high as SDXC can go. When the Wii was announced, the only thing that stopped it from reading 4GB+ cards was the software couldn't read SDHC, they later patched this with 4.0 firmware...I would say you aren't going to have a problem with SD cards for the Wii U considering it can read SDXC cards and WHEN we get a full IOSU hack, people will favor external USB hard drives due to their cheaper costs per GB....(Sandisk has a 200GB card for $80 on Amazon right now...for $80, you can get at least 1TB if not more in an external hard drive

UHS 2 ou 3 are better for loadiine

Is it worth to go from a class 10 to an UHS 3 for loadiine games (especially twilight princess) ?

 

[Keylogger]

UHS 3 is good for TPHD (format your card with 64k cluster)

 

[toto9992]

UHS 3 is good for TPHD (format your card with 64k cluster)

What would you get for loading times with an UHS 3 ?
For me it's about 10-15 seconds.

About 4-8 seconds

got this for $60 when on sale and it's been very reliable formatted to 64k cluster http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Elite-Per...UTF8&qid=1462802361&sr=8-1&keywords=256gb+pny

Dumb question. What program are you all using to format FAT32 and specify a 64kb cluster size?

Also, is that the best thing to do? 64kb cluster size instead of 32?

 

[sj33]

Use fat32format http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm

64kb clusters is faster in some games, though don't expect miracles and some games won't perform better at all.

 

[apachehavok]

I am using the GUI version of that ^^ Does the GUI version not give you cluster size options?

Thanks!

 

[sj33]

It does, but in bytes not kilobytes.

Under 'Allocation Unit Size' choose 65536.

 

[apachehavok]

I think im blind sometimes. Thanks a ton!

I wonder if it would be worth it to compile speed and loading reports of different SD cards?

 

[miesssiee]

Maybe a dumb question, but isn't it even better to format to 128kb cluster size?

That Kingston is the exact one I bought the other day & it works a treat!! I used fat32formatter to format to fat32 64 cluster, haven't had any issue with it at all.

on nintendo site says this about wiiU:

Compatible Cards:
SD memory cards up to 2 GB
SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB
SDXC and fast-transfer UHS-type memory cards are not compatible.

so im confused, loadliine enable 32+ UHS-type SD? or nintendo info is outdated?

 

[enigma85]

Nintendo just doesn't tell it supports higher than 32gb because usually you can't format a SDXC (64gb and up card) to fat32.

I use a 256gb Patriot SDXC UHS-1 with no issues.
