I have only tried 512GB and that did work, I don't know if 1TB will work. I just wanted to warn you that the SD card at the link you provided is probably not really 1024GB, since the off brand name and low price are key indicators that is it bogus. I tried a cheap 512gb one with a price too good to be true and I verified it only held a fraction of what it claimed. I don't know why Amazon doesn't crack down on these but Amazon is littered with them. A legit 1TB card would be this one, you could try it and return it if it doesn't work since it is Prime:

That Amazon link you posted has 1TB cards ranging in price from $15.99 to $309...
I'm old enough to remember when a card had 80 characters and companies mailed them out with your bills. I used to punch them myself sometimes...
I remember when 2 Gigabytes looked like this and cost as much as a 3 bedroom ranch home...
I remember when the heat given off from the IBM 360's was used to heat 30 % of the building.
Yep, I started in "data processing" in those days .............. 2311/2314/3330/3340/3375/3380 disk drives ........3420 Model 8 tape drive could transfer data faster than the disk drives ... challenging days/man vs machine

hahaha I used to manage night shift computer operations in the late 70's and when we would run Batch at night I used to have to take half of the tape mounters and put them over by the DASD farm to fan the drives with cardboard boxes from the print pool when the pole mounted oscillating fans couldn't keep up... You would need 10 acres of those drives for a terabyte and now it fits on something smaller than a fingernail... I worked on an IBM 155 that didn't even have a CRT... It typed back at you on roll paper...

Ah, those were the days. I was the ADP Systems Director for the Navy Staff in Iceland with an IBM 360 with tape and punch cards. It's sole use was to drive sub plots on a plotter larger than a pool table. After I retired, I worked for a Systems Integrator as a PM installing IBM 3090 clones. Now the C8 has more computing power than a room full of DASD hooked to a three way ...
Good to reminisce with you guys !!!! I have 40 years of IT stories... I found a 128GB SD card that I never used and stuffed in a drawer. I wonder how many hours I'll get ? I'm still interested in getting at least a 512 or 1024 too...
Ah, the 60’s when the traditional NYC Wall Street Ticker Tape Parade morphed into a Wall Street IBM Card Parade. I was there for this one in 1969 for the Apollo 11 Crew.

Young whipper snappers, real old timers remember drum memories of 1K, and relay driven electronic components..
LOL....
Yep,,,, I'm one of 'em
I also worked on the CDC1604, the first 'scientific computer' of 32 K core memory.

The BIG question is: what is the largest size that is actually known to work. The last I saw was 256 ultra SDXC UHS-1 High Endurance.

I have mine set to HD and have 32gb card that was laying around. It said 432 minutes so about 7 hours. That would put a 128 GM card at about 28 hours.

In 1966 I took training on IBM129 Keypunch from William Bux, who authored the training literature for the machine.
Applied for a position as a keypunch operator with Bell Telephone and was discriminated against on basis of sex. Bell didn’t employ male keypunch operators. If only I had known Johnny Cochran.
