Blue SCSI V2 SD Cards

[steeler_fanatic]

Any size limits or other constraints for a SD card I need to consider for a Blue SCSI v2. I have on order?

I've got a 32GB SD card in mine and that's more than enough space for my compact Macs

I've used a 128GB and downgraded to a 64GB because it was wasteful and even then its mostly empty. As davewongillies said, 32GB should be plenty of space.

I've been using 32gb TeamGroup cards formatted either exfat or fat32. If you are reusing a card from something else just be aware you may have issues. On my SE I spent an entire day on here troubleshooting only to find out using the SD card formatting utility from the BlueSCSI wiki was all that was needed to correct the issue. Just make sure to select overwrite format option.

I'm using a Sandisk Ultra Plus 64GB, I'll eventually fill it full of CD ISO images to play some games and such, and it works.

I read somewhere that you should use those high endurance SD cards made for security cameras and dash cams, as they are better suited to the continuous read and writes that you'd have with an OS drive. Don't know if that's true, but that's what I use.

I would suggest it. I've been meaning to move my ZuluSCSI to one of those. WD Purple are one of the SD cards I know of with wear leveling. "High Endurance" itself doesn't really signify anything, though.
