Have you tried formatting the card to exFAT and see if it works with your tablet?

NTFS, xFAT and FAT32. I use NTFS. Previsouly used FAT32 and had issues with the device not being detected on all devices. Re-formatted to NTFS and its perfect. I can't recommend this device enough. I get 150 Megabyes a second writes on this!

Hello. Please make sure that the USB thumb drive, or SD card is no larger than 16GB. Also ensure that it is formatted for Fat-32, and it does not contain more than 99 folders and subfolders total. We only recommend using .Avi and .M4v file formatted video.

You can format it into Fat 32 on your computer but it comes formatted in Fat 32 out of the box anyway.

I've been able to format every thumb drive smaller than 64GB to FATxx. Don't have any reason why this one would refuse the format.

Hi. I have not tried it with a 32 Gb card, but the SDHC specification states that 32Gb is the maximum capacity and should work. Not sure about 64 Gb as that is the starting range for SDXC which uses exFAT instead of FAT32. See Sandisk website for more detail.Sadly the largest card I have is 16 GB and it works with this reader just fine.

Download a freeware EaseUS partition Manager, delete the partition first, then format the partition use the fat32 format. I just format my 32gb TF micro SD card this morning

The drive can only be formatted in FAT32, so the size of the file determines if it can be stored on the drive. If you are looking at files over 4Gb, it wont work.

Richard, this card should not be used with either FAT16 (aka FAT) or FAT32, in fact no card over 32GB should be formatted that way unless you are going to partition it as there are limits on partition size not just file size for both of those file systems. Linux will allow you to partition it and format it as FAT32 up to the full space, but that does not mean that Windows and other OSes will be stable using it that way, you could encounter data loss by doing that, so I wouldn't recommend it. The drive would arrive as ExFAT as that's what is being used by SanDisk and a lot of other Flash Media manufacturers for all drives 64GB and larger so that it will work in Cameras and on non-Windows based systems that cannot write to NTFS. This is the reason that Microsoft supports ExFAT for removable media. Please note that without certain updates Windows XP and Windows 2k3 Server do not support ExFAT so you may possibly need to re-format using NTFS if using those systems. ExFAT is a really excellent file system for removable media and is supported by *all* devices and operating systems that can read MicroSDXC cards. This includes Windows Vista and later, Windows Server 2008 and later, Mac OS X 10.7 and later, Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x and later, Windows Phone 8 and later, and most Linux and BSD based systems.

It's definitely not FAT16 since that can't even come close to holding 128GB. I'm 99% sure that the card came formatted as exFAT and I had to reformat it to FAT32 for my purposes. I had to use Linux to format the card as FAT32.

yes. I put a 11gb MKV of a bluray rip. Played fine. The MKV was on a thumbdrive which was formatted NTFS

To the best of my knowledge, you are only limited by the FAT32 format. You can go to the Garmin site and download the user guide. It does not state a size limit, but it can only handle FAT32 formatted cards. - Dave

SD card 2Gb or below is "FAT"SD card 4Gb or higher is "FAT32"It advises not to use NTFS OR exFAT formats these are not supported.

According to the manual for an item I just purchased, one must be able to format the SDHC card with a FAT 32 system. The standard SD card is formated with FAT 16. That difference may mean that your device must be FAT32 capable to use the SDHC card. Not sure, but logic says...

Many devices that use flash cards have a 2GB limit. This is due to the formatting of the device. Flash cards are typically formatted using the FAT16 file system. However, the FAT16 file system has a maximum file size of 2GB. Larger devices are typically formatted using the FAT32 file system. When you format a disk as either FAT16 or FAT32, a set of tables describing free space, file allocation, and other data are placed on the device. FAT16 and FAT32 use different kinds of tables. A device expecting to read FAT16 data will be confused by the FAT32 tables. (It will probably not read or write the device at all.) If you are determined to use your 4GB device, you can reformat it as a FAT16 device, but you will lose all data and will only be able to access the first 2GB of the device. You can always reformat it again later, but this will destroy all information on the device. To reformat the device, use a USB SD card reader or a dedicated microSD card reader. This will make the card look like a disk drive to your system and you will be able to format it just like any disk drive. (USE CARE!) FAT16 appears as just "FAT" in many MS Windows menus.

Hello Jill, all you do is go to the menu screen, you will se two tabs "capture and setup" choose the set up tab by pressing the "ok" button. Then simply go down to where it says format, press the "ok" button and you will see two options, memory card or internal memory, make your choice click "ok" and you are set! Have Fun!

Yes you can format USB flash drive to FAT or FAT16. Be sure to back up your files first. Always back up files before formatting. You can check on youtube for some examples and tutorials.
