MdF Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 (edited) Afternoon All, So, did the recent beta software update for SA on Saturday morning. The system didn't reboot. Couldn't connect via blooteeth either (which usually is the option used to reboot when the system gets "stuck"). This morning I tried my hand at installing a new Image on the Pi. Found myself a 32Gb SD card and did the neccessary Flashing etc. TBH, I amazed myself that it worked. I now have the system up and running again so have taken it that the old SD card was corrupted or damaged during the software install phase. But when doing the flashy thingy, I see that I do have some other 128Gb SD cards available. Wanted to ask here if they can be used for increased storage over time? Or is the system limited to a 32Gb SD card? Thanks, MdF Edited September 29 by MdF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zsde Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Depends on which Pi model you have and also the format. See the Pi forum discussion https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=377246 wolfandy and MdF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MdF Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 Pleased to report that after the flashy thingy yesterday, SA has been working smoothly. In fact I would say it is working faster than before. Not sure if its the SD card performing better or the fact that the old SD card was having issues for a while before it went bust? Note to self, maybe do a flasy thingy once a year to keep the system running optimally and fast? Thoughts? MdF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyWulf Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I also had my SA install implode after a year or 2,reload runs miles faster MdF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
