Hardware New Nintendo 3DS 128GB Max cluster Size

[PandFurr]

Well let's see
I use a 128GB micro SD and the cluster is in 32KB
Is better leave the cluster size like that
or reformat the micro SD with more cluster size like 64kb or more?
and what benefits will I have?

I heard that 64 KB has faster loading time than 32 KB. I use 128 GB 64 KB cluster myself for months now with no problem at all

The sandisk 200GB will default to the 32KB per sector under GUI FAT32format. It is slow under FAT32 due to the way the FAT table needs to be read and the limitations of the microSD's sequential read speeds.

It takes 3-4 seconds to load everything atm, this is after extended usage of several months so far. I imagine it will probably take close to 10 sec or so as it nears EOL due to read/write limits in 5-10 years.
