Best Friends.

Tested with a 128 GB SDXC Card from Kingston with Jojo34s new findings - so here comes my 2 cents:

Performing all outlined steps in the 64 GB approach described by Jojo34 - but instead in this case use a 128 GB card, extend the partition to include the whole SDXC card - e.g.  128 GB. This will however leave you with the disappointing result that the Drumit will just try to boot forever. 

Ok - some more tests:

• Setting the partition size below 60GB - WORKS! Good thing are that you can use a 128GB card - even if you are only using 50% of it...
• Setting it above 60GB - and Drumit will try to boot the OS forever...

So the conclusion is - around 60GB is the maximum which all Drumits can address. (A normal 64GB card will probably leave you with a partition size on around 58 GB). Based on the fairly advanced process to generate a working SDXC card - I think we can estimate that 2box never will officially be supporting 64GB. (But I can be wrong here -  )

But we have a nice workaround - and it is actually quite hard to fill up all 60GB with dsnd files...!

Thanx for trying out Anders👍 So 64 GB is the maximum.
I'am happy with it! And I'am happy with this 2box forum.
Now that Jerry is gone ( R.I.P brother )we have to figure things out ourself.
But with the help from each other we can do achieve things!💪

The 64 GB card on the picture in previous post worked in my MKII. But I think I need to run it for some days before really accepting that it works flawlessly. :-)

We are gonna test our Cards for sure.
Somebody has to do it because 2box is not gonna do it for us...

Hi guys wanted to let you know that my 64 GB Card does work with a 2box Drumit 3!
Man oh man I needed to be very patient with this... was working on a old windows pc at my parents home.
But after a while it was finally ready! and it work perfect!
The card that I use is a PNY 64GB Elite Performance 100mb/s.

I want to thank Mr. Jojo34 (Mag) for his work and helping me true the process.
I'am very happy guys! 64 GB is perfect for me!

Again its a shame for the lame 2box support on this issue.

hey roel
just try to follow my advice with exact that programs i mentioned
or otherwise you wont succed cause the modul dont support 64GB cards i guess
till now
only works with that way i gave at page 1 of this theme

Before I begin with your solution, do I have to format the 64 gb card to fat32? or let it in original mode exfat?

I got a 64 gb card now formatted it to fat32, and it says unaligned cluster getting desperate now...
I need help please...

What kind of  errors did you get with the 128 GB card? Unallocated clusters?

Best regards

The module dit not start, was loading all the time but didden't start up.
but I think you can do it Anders
At least you can give it a try, maby some smart person can do
It.

A good tool when trying format / partition things on a SD card - is https://www.partitionwizard.com/feedback/install-partition-wizard.html?from-demo-v12

i wil get my money back I will send the 128gb card retour, now the question if i buy a 64 gb sdxc card and i format it to fat32
does it 100% work with my 2box drumit 3 module?

So 64 GB will be the maximum for 2box well I think its enough to handle my kits.

Ive tested it but damn it doesn't work I tried everything to get it work,but no succes.
can i format my 128gb to 64gb or how can I do that?

128 GB or 256 GB didnt work with my solution  i was trying it promt after get success with 64GB an i still use 64GB without slowdown or any errors
what works with bigger cards is to seize then down to 64 GB what makes no sense even you only have bigger card then 64GB
Interresting for me would be if someone was always successful with my solution
seems not much interrest in that doubble up memory

I will try tomorrow, hope it works my way.let's do it!!!!

Roel, please let us know how the 2
128 gig card works ?

I have the 128GB card now, and this week I go to try to make it work,let you guys know!

Roel, I am in the states. What brand 64 gb card works and where did you purchase if you don't mind me asking?

I don't have a 64 gb sdxc card, I still using the 32 gb sdhc card with the extender mod.
But I'am gonna order a 128 gb sdxc card soon and gonna try it it works with my 2box Drumit 3 module.

this is the PNY 128GB sdxc card then I order:
https://www.cameranu.nl/nl/p3139686/pny-elite-performance-128gb-sdxc-class-10-u3-100mb-s-geheugenkaart

For now I using a 32GB PNY sdhc card 100mb/s and I never run into problems with that card.
So I'am curious that bigger PNY Cards will work, offcourse we must format the new cards to FAT32 to get it work.
but it will be great if those card will work too....

so if this works with 64 gb sdxc cards then it maby works with the sdxc cards 128gb,256gb,512gb,1tb,2tb who knows
we need to try this out...

Hmm...i wonder if that will work. :-)

You could always try...but I am guessing as long as you are not saving anything to the card when inserted in 2box...it will work...but if saving a config...you probably end up with a FAT error.

So i figured out how we can format our sdxc cards( 64gb to 2 TB) to fat32.

Now i must test with a sdxc card first...
i have now a pny sdhc 32 GB 100/mb s in my module.

Iam gonna try a 128 gb sdxc card pny 100 mb/s.
Its a shame Jman is not with us anymore Rip Jerry! now I have to
Test these cards myself.

Iam gonna test this card soon:
https://www.cameranu.nl/nl/p3139686/pny-elite-performance-128gb-sdxc-class-10-u3-100mb-s-geheugenkaart

Check my other post.

Iam gonna put a 512 gb in my 2box format it to fat32 and lets go!

It seems very strange that the Di3 is delivered with only 4Gb internal memory, since the memorycards in so inexpensive
Does anybody know how much free memoryspace theres left with all the stock-kits on the card?

Is it possible to just change the internal memorycard or will I have to do an extendercard update?
Sincere
/Anders

Yes just put a 512 gb sd card in your module and voila!
