I have read that sd cards tend to get corrupted being used in exfat with the switch, but I would like to use emummc without that 4gb bottleneck
Which card is the most stable?

SanDisk 256GB & 400GB MicroSD cards formatted to exfat and both have corrupted at least once. Requiring me to format and then completely install all my games again; would recommend FAT32 over it anyday, but hey, if you can handle the risk :yay:

imo, the problem with corruption starts when people use lots of homebrew apps which are not stable to write on exfat devices. All the writing proccess my switch does are when creating/deleting:
- checkpoint saves
- game saves
- (un)installing titles with goldleaf
And I never had corruption.
