Today I was to go fly, however I was grounded due to rain. So, I decided to play with memory cards. I happen to have lots of high speed memory cards laying around, I use them as disk drives for Rasbperry Pi computers, I use them to drive home automation as well as xmass light show.
What I specifically was trying to find out is if I could use higher storage cards in the P4.
The Pi computer claims the max storage it can handle is a 32 gig card, this is because the Pi expects a fat32 format. Memory card higher then 32 gig need to be formatted with ext32 to be visible and used in most computers.
However, in the Pi world we have ways of using higher capacity drives, as such most of my Pi machines run with 128 gig cards. I know I know what does this have to do with the P4.
Well, I figured I might be able to use the same trick with the P4. So As a control test I formatted a 128 gig card, did nothing special except format it on widows.
I actually expected this to work, because the format for a 64 gig card is no different then the format for a 128 gig card.
I spent a few moments terrorizing the wife with the camera. Checked the memory card and just as I expected it worked fine.
Not sure why the say largest memory card size is 64 gigs when clearly it can accept a much larger card.
