Rasp Pi 3 - Max SD card size

marcuso

Hi,

 

I tried countless times to get the Rpi2 to boot from a 64Gb SD 10 card, on all different Linux OS flavours but to no avail. Does the RPi3 work with anything bigger than a 32Gb SD card ? And if so whats the max size.

 

Thanks,

  • I have a Pi 3 and Zero with 64gb cards.  The 64gb Pi 3 is also connected to 1TB USB HDD. They work fine.

     

    The rest of my Pi 3 and Zeros run 32GB cards.

     

    A 128gb might work if properly formatted and partitioned. Not sure the cost of a 128gb card  is worth it.

    In the UK, there are 128GB cards - 'SanDisk Ultra' currently available for £33 GBP from Tesco!!!  I got a 64GB one for £17 today!

     

    At that price it certainly IS worth it - at least until the offer expires!!
