Just wanted to clarify some confusion around this product re: Christopher's review, where they complain that the card only gives them 32 GB.
Re "Why on earth is the card not pre-formatted to allow purchasers the advertised amount?" - I can confirm that in fact the card comes formatted as exFAT and does give you access to the full 128 GB (~119 GiB). :)
Christopher's card was limited to 32 GB when he reformatted it to FAT32. This is a limitation of the windows format tool, which limits the size of FAT32 formatted storage to 32GB, and does not reflect on the SD card (it would affect any card in the same way).
He can recover the remaining space by reformatting to e.g. exFAT. If he does require it to be in FAT32, perhaps for use with an old camera, I understand this is possible with different formatting tools, like the free FAT32 Format tool (disclaimer: I've never used this myself).
I hope this helps Christopher get the most out of their purchase and puts another uneasy potential purchaser's mind at rest :-).
