Most of my experience when exceeding hardware spec/capacity is that it
won't register the full amount, but as much as it *can* mostly per backward
compatible spec.  It might not at all if the disk controller is too foreign
or behind, but usually gives something.

Same as it's mostly been since the beginning of time really.  If not seeing
the full amount, it's a hardware/controller limitation.  Sometimes some
medium ground, other times not all or at all.

Android phone question

2023-07-01 Thread Jim via PLUG-discuss
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I don't know of 
anywhere else to ask.  I have a MOTO G Power 2021 phone.  I've read the 
specs on it and it supports SDXC micro sd cards.  Here's the part that 
confuses me.  I've read numerous places that SDXC supports card with  
capacities up to 2TB, but the specs on the phone say it supports micro 
SD cards up to 512 GB.   I'm wondering what happens if I put a 1TB card 
in it.  Will it be able to access the entire card, or only half of it?  
If it only sees half the card, can I make two partitions of 512GB each 
to get it to see all the space on the card?



Thanks

Jim
