Gaming What is the memory limit for a micro sd card?

[DragonSoulX]

Someone told me 32GB, and then another guy said the 3ds can read micro SD up to 2TB if the card is formatted to FAT32, which is right?

Right now the largest capacity micrSD card is 1TB. The SDXC specification can go up to 2TB.

that is correct. 2TB should be the theoretical limit of the 3ds, but as the above member mentioned, 1TB is current max available. those run around $200 if you can get them on sale, so watch for black Friday sales.

btw, I suggest buying from amazon (directly from amazon if possible). I got my first 1TB for my animal crossing switch for $200 last year's black Friday. then, I bought a second one for my other switch during Labor Day sale for $180. both checked out as I recommend using h2testw. it takes about 20 hours to write, then verify, but it's worth it to make sure you don't get a fake. if you find ones substantially lower than those amounts, it's probably fake.

A Card Size up to 64GB is ok,bigger Sizes maybe causes Issues in Performance.Also the Chance of getting "Fake" microSD Cards.

The maximum is 1TB, but you will not use more than 128GB unless you're just pirating games you will never play.
