Honestly, I've never had to dig into format settings past that as I've never had any issues, so others may have better recommendations for the settings if thats the tool you use. I use the default formatting settings on sd formatter, which, based on what I read in the manual, preserves the original settings for the card. This is the app I was thinking of: I would agree, likely not counteerfeit, but this app will definitely run them thru their paces and ensure you have the amount of storage advertised. So what should the file system type be, and what should the sector size be?Īnd the follow up question, does it make sense to use a a 32GB image on a 32GB card, or is it better to use a smaller image and still have some memory available for storage (i.e. I did also pick up a 64GB Samsung EVO+ card (based on discussions of cards), and that is showing 59.6GB, which again makes sense if using the 1024 vs 1000 math.Ĭan anyone comment on what formatting the card should be in?

I know companies do the 1000 instead of 1024 thing for how they calculate GB, and if you do that for KB, MB, and GB, you're looking at 29.8GB actual, so that makes sense.īut I would think the image for a 32Gb card should fit on a "32GB" card.
