MTR partition size

FAT partition size

Total card size

The following table shows the FAT and MTR partition sizes for different SD card capacities. The FAT partition size is set automatically according to card capacity. The size of the MTR partition on cards 4 GB or smaller is also fixed, but cards that are 8 GB or larger have multiple MTR partitions and their sizes can be chosen. However, the last MTR partition is set to fill the remaining space on the card automatically, so its size cannot be chosen.
