SDXC on Sansa Fuze?

[djfonplaz]

Hi! I'm about to buy a micro SDXC 64GB for my Sansa Fuze (v1) rockboxed. Will it work great? Or can I have issues?
With 32gb SDHC I haven't any problems... but is better asking before buying it

So, seems the only problems with these cards (on Windows 7) is to format them as FAT32, and (maybe? Don't know..) the duration of battery will be less?

Less relative to what?  Rockbox always uses FAT32.

Less relative to battery duration! Also, FAT32 on 32gb it's ok, 64gb (for what I read) can make some troubles? Dunno...that's why I opened this topic. Are you using a SDXC64gb on fuze?

There is no problem with using FAT32 on a 64GB device, other than the fact that the Windows format utility refuses to format devices larger than 32GB as FAT32. If you format it with something else it works fine.

There is a utility that work with 64GB on Windows 7 or it's a OS fault?

Any formatting tool other than the one built into Windows should work.

Well done! Thank you, I think I'll buy one

Thats not a microsd card, but yes in the future I expect 128GB microsd cards to work once they are made.

Hi DJFonPlaz,

There is absolutely no need to buy a formatting/partitioning tool.  Just get yourself a copy of Parted Magic, burn it to a CD, boot off of it with your player plugged in and format the card as Fat32.  Note: it may be necessary to first use an SDXC compatible card reader, format it to Fat32 in there and then insert it in to your Sansa Fuze, but I don't know, because I haven't tried it.  I just know that buying Acronis Disk Director or some other utility isn't even a little necessary when there's quality freeware on Linux. 

Cheers,
Christian
