would the SD card still get corrupted if it's formatted to FAT32 and im loading the xci through an external hard drive or the hard drive end up being corrupted?

I THINK thats safe - I'm pretty sure the memory dumps are written to the SD even if you have a USB drive hooked up. So as long as its FAT32 (SD Card), should be good.
I can't test to see if I'm correct or not though.
You could test it out yourself though.
SXOS will warn you if it's going to dump/use ExFAT partition.

It works but it never gave me any warning so I assume it was ok. I just used a spare SD card to test and did a few searches and so far no corruption.

if you only use the Exact Search function (do not use Any Value search) then it shouldn't corrupt on exfat , but don't quote me on it, I 've only been using exfat search for a week
