Is it possible to set up an SD Card as internal storage and if so what is the maximum card size recommended please?

Marshmallow 6x firmware and above gives an option for an SD Card to be used as internal storage, have only used a 64gb card this way and not sure if any larger storage works.

@Mikeharbour I would think all of those would be fine as long as they are formatted to fat32. If you are using these cards as internal storage be sure to make a backup of it to a pc (have never tried this so am presuming it will be visible in windows) once its up and running with all your apps/ games on. I do not use this option in android 6 and above anymore as I was getting the message 'sd card is corrupted' over time with box needing a factory reset. Workaround is to backup the card somehow once setup to fall back on to cover any eventualities.

Thanks, I only ask as I recently tried two “old” cards I had lying about, one wouldn’t register (but worked on a pc) the other brought up a “too slow” message.

Anyway I have ordered a Samsung Evo+ 64GB SDHC UHS 1, class 10, and will see how it goes.
