Biggest microSD tested with Lumia 950

[crash]

Hi Everyone,

I wondered whether anyone had any experience of testing SD cards larger than 128GB with a Lumia 950.

I want to turn mine into a little media player for my daughter, for use in the car on long journeys, using the VLC app that you can even now download for Windows Mobile 10 from the MS store...

Since the screen is 1440p, I want to put a few good quality Disney films etc on there and 128GB fills up pretty quickly with that and some music and all the photos that I still use it for.

I've seen that the maximum size SD that it can fully address is 200MB, which seems like an odd size.
I've even seen people having difficulty with smaller cards, ages ago, which I took to be issues with cheap or 'fake' SD cards.
I've seen it said elsewhere that Windows Mobile 10 can address up to 1TB on an SD card, which would be very helpful.

Does anyone have experience of chucking a 256, 512GB etc card in one of these phones?

Thanks in advance,

I'm currently using a 256gb in a Lumia 640 that I updated to windows 10, and since the 950 has better specs, I wouldn't see an issue. I have a 950 that I will be using as a media player like you said, and once I get a higher card for that I'll report back.

Thanks, that's already very helpful,
If you have a chance to test a 512 card etc in one, that would be very interesting.
I suspect that it will work fine.

I'm still very much enjoying my 950 (small).
My onedrive died on the phone when I filled up the account, so it could use resetting at some point.
But the camera and the phone itself work better than anything you can get done with the current iOS/android alternatives.
