The ExFAT was invented by Microsoft specifically for such a removable storage and support for flash cards with this sizes (it supports up to 64 ZB). Its fully supported under Android (Samsung wrote the kernel module, so there's a native support for it), and you can grab the kernel module from here: </div>

Now do you format a 64GB SDXC card to use with Android? the opinions on<br>
the web are all over the place. some say it's OK to keep ExFat (it came<br>
formatted) since it's pretty stable in FUSE and the Cyanogenmod supports<br>
it. others say one should partition it down to two 32GB parts of Fat32<br>
for compatibility with older OS in case you need to reset (also I found<br>
my version of CWM does not read ExFAT). Others say ext2 is the way to<br>
go, or ext3 (Windows machines won't support that easily, but I don't<br>
care since I don't run one).<br>
<br>
Basically it's a question of what FS is the most convenient, stable,<br>
safe and speed-optimized for flash. The forums people argue but I feel<br>
none of them have serious ways to back up their opinions. If you have<br>
any facts or educated opinions, I'd be happy to learn.<br>
