Need Clarification

[vagrant lance]

I've been researching what SD card the old 3ds xl takes (still waiting for mine to ship), however, I've seen some conflicting results and I don't want to accidently order the wrong card. I'm planning on buying a 128gb sandisk sd card, will this card work or do I need to buy another one?

sandisk 128 gb is fine

anything more than 128 gb will have problems

and make sure dont buy untrusted brands or sites

About SD-Cards

For general information, please check [the FAQ](#1270692745056485417 message)

The 3DS family can take cards up to 2TB. However this is not recommended as you will run into issues with cards larger than 128GB.
Cards above 32GB will have to be specially formatted. Consult ?formatting for more information.
Buy SD cards from reputable brands(SanDisk, Samsung, Kingston, etc...). Never buy used cards or cards from questionable sources like AliExpress or Wish.
Card speed is irrelevant for the 3DS as it is limited to 4MB/s (Class 4). Faster speeds will only benefit you when transferring files from your PC to the card.
