Help 64GB SD Card?

Can anyone confirm whether 64GB SD cards work for the ZMAX? I have a 64GB SD card that is formatted as fat32 (worked in every phone I tried it on) but when I put it in my ZMAX it says blank SD Card or unsupported file system. This is confusing me because I've used it in quite a few androids that were only rated for cards up to 32GB.
 
Never mind, for some reason my 64GB Samsung EVO card didn't want to play nice. I found my 64GB Samsung PRO card and it's working just fine.

After reformatting my 64gb EVO card, it also works now.

Actually, you can use any size SD card as far as I know. I've had several androids which all worked with 64gb sd cards, and only one of them was rated for cards larger than 32gb.
 
SD data is just a two wire affair.

If the controller supports SDXC - and most do nowadays - then size isn't an issue regardless of the rating.
 
My 64gb card from sandisk (class 10) worked fine after formatting and removing the partition. I'd had it split to two 31.9gb partitions and just ran the built in format SD option. Now shows as 64gb and seems to be working fine with 43gb taken up already.
