Has anyone 'round here ever tired using a 128 GB micro SDXC card in their Pi b4?

I'm been using a 64 GB card with no problems. But am wondering what the upper limit is. ?

While we have not tried I think you will probably be okay.

Have a look at this list: http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards
There are several 128 GB cards listed, most of which are labelled as working.
There is also a 256 GB and a 512 GB card listed, both of which were said to be okay.

Given that list I would imagine the upper limit or the Raspberry Pi is at least 512 GB.
Raspiban should be fine, based on other conversations though NOOBs struggles with larger SD cards.

Thanks! That's an excellent link!

I'm hoping that the larger size combined with the "wear leveling" algorithms incorporated in modern flash will insure a longer lifespan for my diddies mind. I found a 128 GB chip for $30 US, so, at least I won't have a lot invested in this "experiment". ;-)
