MicroSD card max Capacity bug

[GuillaumeDrolet]

Ok hi everyone,

I'd like to know if there's anyone with experience who can tell me if I can buy with peace of mind a 128 GB microSD card for my Samsung Grand Prime.

I know they say the max capacity is 128 GB so technically it should be fine but I've heard that some people say that when you try to use the max capacity, you tend to get bugs.

Can someone hereconfirm whether this is true or not? thanks!

Assuming you're buying a quality 128GB card, you shouldn't have any problems - the interface is goof up to 2TB. If you buy a cheap 4GB card that's been programmed to claim that it's 128GB ... it'll fail as soon as you exceed the 4GB limit. (It doesn't matter what the card says - in print or electronically - once you exceed the actual amount of storage on the card, it fails. Luckily only temporarily. Reformat it and you should have your 4GB card back - with no data on it.)

Do they actually sell cards that claim to be 128 GB when they're actually for instance 4 GB?? I mean, that must happen only online or in shady shops.
