    Looking at the actual commit notes, it is SDUC support, which starts at 2TB and goes up to 128TB

      I find it hard to believe they only recently added GPT partitioning support , or was there some other issue happening with the removable storage mediums above a certain amount?

        Nah, it’s just SDUC cards are a different hardware design.

          I’m not sure I’m following, what was the technological leap here? I know that the SD, SDHC, SDXC, etc. are marketing terms and their limitations are based on other factors, much of the previous ones are file system related.

          • SD - FAT16 Volume size limit, Practical limit 2GB, Max limit 4GB
          • SDHC - FAT32 limit Set at 32GB by Microsoft (fake limit)
          • SDXC - 2TB limit, Maximum partition size for MBR partition Scheme.

          I assume that it’s a similar story here but it might not be, if so I’m curious as to what changed.

            The I/O commands are different as well, the hardware has to support SDUC.
