Kudos to the staff. I am a new buyer of Himedia H8, beautiful product. I'm going to installarci an SD card, you tell me the maximum supported cutting? Thanks and greetings to all from Italy :)

Officially, support is for SDHC 32GB max.
H8 will however support FAT32 formatted SD cards of at least 64GB. Possibly larger.
All SD cards bigger than 32GB are SDXC standard, which specifies exFAT format. exFAT is not supported. So what you might find is that a shop bought 64GB card won't work initially because it is formatted as exFAT, but will work if you reformat it as FAT32.

I really doubt this statement. Never seen an SDHC card above 32 GB. I don't think it is even technically feasible. I saw some advertisements for 64 GB cards confusing SDHC and SDXC.
Also Android Lollipop platforms should support exFAT out of the box. Tried it on a few platforms which said that they did not support it. They meant to say that they did not bother to try it.

They talk about re-formatting an exFAT formatted 64 SD card. Sandisk Ultra 64 GB is an SDXC card not a SDHC.
Just browsed through it. Lollipop for sure normally supports exFAT too as any recently sold device should do.
There is a good reason why Windows won't format SD-Cards above 64 GB with FAT32. You are simply doing the wrong thing.
I have no experience myself using SDXC cards in older devices labeled for SDHC only. Used exFAT on 32GB SDHC with no problems.
exFAT is a better filesystem than FAT32 don't doubt that (no limit to max 4 GB file size e.g.) as exFAT was designed specifically for memory cards/sticks.
Asked for SDXC/exFAT support on Himedia players as this will be the new defacto standard for all big(ger) SD-Cards used in any device with any type of OS on it. SD is the only card format still being sold and these new cards are fast to blazing fast so they will be very popular. Prices already are dropping.
