Default SD card for my PDR

I’m trying to get my PDR to work. Can you use a formatted 128GB? I have one in class 10 but does not recognize it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, I'm even using a 256GB and it works (6000+ minutes of recording!). You do have to format it in FAT32 which is likely your issue.

If you use a Windows PC, it will not natively format a card larger than 32GB to FAT32. You will need a third party utility in order to format your card in FAT32 for use with the PDR.

There are several threads on Corvette Forum on this, here are a few:

I used this to format my 128 and 256GB cards. Way more time than anyone will ever need.

I'm using this exact one and has been working great. And, remember to format it to have a FAT32 filesystem.

Download HPUSBDisk. It's free. Run as administrator and it will format all card sizes.
